Jodie Comer Revisits Ridley Scott’s Mastery Of ‘The Last Duel’ [Interview]

Ridley Scott sure does enjoy his existential sci-fi, huh?

House of Gucci actor Jared Leto said that taking on family outcast Paolo Gucci for Ridley Scott’s crime drama came with its own set of risks. But now a contender for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a  Supporting Role at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards, it seems it that taking on the late fashion designer continues to pay off.

“Alien” is inarguably one of the best sci-fi horror films of all time. Actually, many would consider it the gold standard of that specific subgenre.

Ridley Scott released two major films in 2021, including “House of Gucci” and “The Last Duel.” The latter of which marked the first time the filmmaker worked with actress Jodie Comer.

Ridley Scott and Bradley Cooper are shooting wide smiles across cyberspace, trying to recall the last time they laid eyes on one another.“I haven’t seen you since Los Angeles — it was like a year and a half ago?” Cooper wonders aloud.

As we approach the end of the year, we can safely look back at 2021 and see which films ended up being the biggest box office bombs. Sure, the pandemic is affecting the industry and perhaps some of the stats are skewed quite a bit, but when you see something like “The Last Duel” fail so spectacularly, there’s obviously something more going on than just people afraid to go back to the theater.
