Scorsese to work on The Last Duel
Posted by Matt Holmes
As part of Martin Scorsese’s new deal with Paramount, the legendary director will produce and possibly helm an adaptation of the historic novel The Last Duel: A True Story of Crime, Scandal and Trial by Combat in Medieval France.
The book focuses on the last duel officially sanctioned by the French government between a squire and a distinguished knight after the squire apparently raped the knight’s wife. A-List celebs witnessed the duel, including King Charles IV of France and other Royal courtiers.
Sounds all very interesting, I would be intrigued to see what Scorsese would do with this historical epic. Then I think Gangs of New York….. maybe he shouldn’t do period movies.
