Hundreds hope to land role with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon

Hundreds of people queued outside Liberty Hall in Dublin this morning in the hope of landing work as a paid extra in a new film starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

‘The Last Duel’ is an Epic Period feature film which will soon be shooting in various parts of Ireland over the coming months. It will be directed by Ridley Scott (‘Alien’, ‘Gladiator') and will star Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Adam Driver and Jodie Comer.  

Filming will mostly take place around Dublin, Wicklow, Meath and Tipperary.  

Affleck, Damon and Nicole Holofcener have written the screenplay which is based on the book ‘The Last Duel’, by Eric Jager. Set in Medieval France, the story is an epic tale of betrayal and justice.

Lots of film extras will be required for huge crowd scenes, with an open casting day taking place today at Liberty Hall on Eden Quay until 6pm. All work is paid and open to adults.
