Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are teaming up once again for “Animals,” a new crime thriller that Netflix has just acquired. Affleck will direct, with Damon starring, from a script by Connor McIntyre and Billy Ray.

Sunday night may be all about football, but Matt Damon and Ben Affleck only have basketball on their minds. The first trailer for “Air,” the upcoming Amazon film from the duo about the creation of Nike’s Air Jordans, has dropped before premiering during the upcoming Super Bowl ahead of the film’s April release.
An ’80s period piece, “Air” stars Damon as Sonny Vaccaro, the Nike marketing executive who signed Michael Jordan for a deal with the company, leading to the development of the iconic Air Jordan sneaker lines. The film will focus on Vaccaro’s pursuit of a contract with Jordan, and co-stars Affleck as Nike co-founder Phil Knight and Viola Davis as Jordan’s mother Deloris. Jason Bateman, Chris Messina, Marlon Wayans, Chris Tucker, and Gustaf Skarsgård are also in the cast of the film, which will feature Jordan in archival footage but will otherwise keep the basketball legend off-screen.

Carrouges is a respected knight known for his bravery and skill on the battlefield.
20th Century Studios’ “The Last Duel,” a gripping tale of betrayal and vengeance set against the brutality of 14th century France directed by visionary filmmaker and four-time Academy Award® nominee Ridley Scott, opens in theaters nationwide October 15, 2021.
The historical epic is a cinematic and thought-provoking drama set in the midst of the Hundred Years War that explores the ubiquitous power of men, the frailty of justice and the strength and courage of one woman willing to stand alone in the service of truth. Based on actual events, the film unravels long-held assumptions about France’s last sanctioned duel between Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris, two friends turned bitter rivals. Carrouges is a respected knight known for his bravery and skill on the battlefield.

Matt Damon and Adam Driver face off in the first trailer for “The Last Duel,” 20th Century Studios’ historical epic from four-time Academy Award-nominated director Ridley Scott.
It’s a clash of movie titans — at least as far as awards pedigree goes — with Oscar winner Damon as Jean de Carrouges and Oscar nominee Driver as Jacques Le Gris, the two friends turned bitter rivals who participated in France’s last sanctioned duel.
Set during the Hundred Years War, Carrouges is a respected knight known for his bravery and skill on the battlefield. Le Gris is a Norman squire whose intelligence and eloquence make him one of the most admired nobles in court.
Two-time Oscar winner Ben Affleck is Count Pierre d’Alençon (who sports a shockingly blonde hairdo).
Emmy winner Jodie Comer stars as Marguerite de Carrouges, Jean’s wife, who sets off the movie’s plot after she is viciously assaulted by Le Gris,...

In Ridley Scott’s “The Last Duel,” Matt Damon and Adam Driver battle in a duel to the death over Jodie Comer. But the first trailer shows that it’s Comer’s character who is the main protagonist of the film, and she’s the one truly risking her life.
Scott’s film is written by Nicole Holofcener (“Can You Ever Forgive Me”), Damon and Ben Affleck, who also co-stars. The historical period drama, which is based on a true story, opens in theaters from 20th Century Studios on Oct. 15.
Comer plays Marguerite de Carrouges, who claims she is viciously assaulted by a respected knight named Le Gris (Driver). When he denies the charge, she refuses to stay silent, stepping forward to accuse her attacker and leading Damon to defend his wife’s honor. But should Damon’s character lose in his duel, it will be her life that’s in danger.
