Hollywood is well aware that the British director, Ridley Scott, is a difficult director, and it is not easy to pass him, and he gave it a group of successful films, especially those related to science fiction.

Scott was also known for films of an epic nature, the most important of which are "Gladiator", "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Exodus: Gods and Kings". and his new movie "The Last Duel" is moving in the direction of epic and historical films, as it takes us to France To see the story of its events took place in the fourteenth century.

The story of the new film is based on the novel written by Eric Jagger, titled (The Last Duel: A True Story of Trial by Combat in Medieval France), and revolves around a soldier who returns from the war to discover that his friend has raped his wife in his absence, and the husband asks the king to allow him By playing the last legal match in France with the rapist to death.

The Last Duel starring Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Jodi Comer and Ben Affleck, script written by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Nicole Holofner, Jennifer Foxx, Scott, Kevin Walsh and Nicole Holofsner produce the work, Affleck and Damon will executive produce the work along with Drew Vinton and Kevin Halloran, according to the report on Variety.

The plot of the film is rather epic and well written, and despite the fast-paced action or subdued action, the wonderful cast and crew bridged the gap and took the historical film to another level.

 Because of the low revenues of The Last Duel in the cinemas, as the budget of the film amounted to 100 million dollars, and its revenues in the cinemas amounted to only 27 million dollars. Director Ridley Scott blamed millennial audiences. Who grew up using cell phones. saying this new generation had no interest in cinema. and this generation will not learn anything unless you present it to him on a mobile phone.

Although what he said has a little truth. However, the reason for the low revenues, in my opinion, was due to the wrong marketing of the film and the lack of campaigns to promote it, especially since it was released during a period of time that carried many vast films such as “dune” and “no time to die.” It is known that these films have made huge promotional campaigns, Without forgetting that the new generation actually loves and turns towards action and science fiction films more than epic historical films.
