As part of
Martin Scorsese's new deal with Paramount, the legendary director will produce and possibly helm an adaptation of the historic novel
The Last Duel: A True Story of Crime, Scandal and Trial by Combat in Medieval France. The book focuses on the last duel officially sanctioned by the French government between a squire and a distinguished knight after the squire apparently raped the knight's wife. A-List celebs witnessed the duel, including King Charles IV of France and other Royal courtiers. Sounds all very interesting, I would be intrigued to see what Scorsese would do with this historical epic. Then I think
Gangs of New York..... maybe he shouldn't do period movies. source -
