THE LAST DUEL received its world premiere at the 78th Annual Venice International Film Festival Friday night with the film's director Ridley Scott, co-screenwriter/producer Nicole Holofcener and stars Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jodie Comer. However, the showstoppers were Ben Affleck and his date Jennifer Lopez in their first red carpet appearance. See the photos below.
Matt Damon posed alongside his wife and his long-time friend Affleck also brought along his super-famous girlfriend Jennifer Lopez in a provocative dress. Affleck couldn't keep his hands to himself along the red carpet, and of course, the photos went viral. Missing from the group photo was Adam Driver who skipped the festival.
Before the red carpet was held at the renowned Lido, Ridley Scott was honored with the festival's Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award for his contributions to the film industry.
THE LAST DUEL will be released in movie theaters on October 15 and written by Affleck, Damon and Holofcener. The film is set in 14th Century France, the thought-provoking drama takes place in the midst of the Hundred Years War and is based on actual events that pit two friends against each other when one is accused of seducing the other's wife.
