Carrouges goes to war and returns to accuse LeGris of raping his wife. When no one believes her, Carrouges asks the king of France for a chance to prove his wife was right. The two former friends end up in a duel to the death.
Damon will portray Carrouges while Driver will play LeGris, according to IMDb. It is unclear who Affleck is playing in the film, although based on his finery, it’s possible the actor will take on the role of King Charles VI who orders the two friends to settle their dispute.
Killing EvestarJodie Comerwill act opposite the trio as Marguerite, Carrouges’ wife.
Damon opened up about reuniting with Affleck while onConanin November 2019 saying, “We wrote it with an amazing writer named Nicole Holofcener. It’s about the last sanctioned duel in medieval France between these two knights, one of whom claimed the other raped his wife.”
“They could not resolve what had happened,” Damon continued. “And so they fought to the death to let God decide who was telling the truth and who wasn’t.”
“We thought it was this interesting story of perspectives, so Ben and I wrote the male perspectives and Nicole wrote the female perspective and Ridley Scott is going to direct it.”
He added, “We’re really looking forward to it.”
