Actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are two celebrities who began their careers together and even won their first Oscars together with their 1998 film Good Will Hunting which fetched them the Best Original Screenplay honour. Who can forget that iconic photograph of the duo from the ceremony? It sure has been a while since we saw them together in a film and well, the moment has finally arrived. After nearly two decades, the two actors are all set to star in Ridley Scott's next. The film titled The Last Duel. The film is based on a novel by Eric Jager and will be a revenge drama. Ford v Ferrari Trailer: Matt Damon and Christian Bale Team Up in the Most Fast-Paced Rivalry of 20th Century - Watch Video.

As reported by Deadline, the script is almost done, written by Damon, Affleck and Nicole Holofcener. What's amazing is that the film revolves around two best friends of whom one is a knight and the other is a squire. According to the report, the plot thickens when the two friends turn against each other after the knight accuses the squire of raping his wife. The film will be set in medieval times and according to the novel is set in France.

While Affleck is expected to play the knight, Damon will be essaying the role of the squire. The last time Damon and director Ridley Scott came together, they created The Martian which was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. In this case, with the talent of Damon and Affleck coming together, we think The Last Duel is going to be a biggie. As per reports, Disney is in talks for the production of the film but since a green signal hasn't been given yet, there are other studious who are sure to show interest in the same too. Batman: Robert Pattinson to Succeed Ben Affleck as the Caped Crusader in DC's Next.

The film has already started to gain interest especially since, not long ago, Matt Damon was clicked by the paparazzi holding a script in his hand and it is now being believed that it was for The Last Duel. We are now excited to see how this film shapes up but it sure is a delight for fans of the two actors to finally see them share screen space together again.
