While Ridley Scott has mastered the historical epic with films like Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, and Napoleon, his 2021 medieval film The Last Duel didn't click with audiences. Even with an all-star cast reuniting Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (who co-wrote the screenplay with Nicole Holofcener), the movie was a box office bomb, making just over $30 million globally according to Box Office Mojo. Not only was this a poor reception to an excellent film (one of Scott’s best in recent years), it was a harsh rejection of the movie’s grim subject matter as well as the movie to which it bears the strongest resemblance: Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon.
