An epic medieval swordfight is set to take place this fall, and in the meantime, 20th Century Studios has given us a little preview by releasing the first trailer for "The Last Duel." This duel is for the pride of two men, and the life of one woman. A 14th-century knight Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) will be facing-off with his squire Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver). Yes, you read that correctly. Damon versus Driver in a fight to the death. What reason would a knight ever have to fight his own squire? You're about to find out.

The trailer kicks off with Marguerite de Carrouges (Jodie Comer), wife of knight Jean de Carrouges, accusing her husband's squire of coming into their home and attacking her, among doing other things. With such a bold allegation being asserted towards squire Jacques Le Gris, some form of action must be taken. Before anything has really been decided, Jean de Carrouges requests a trial by combat with Jacques Le Gris. By making this request, he not only puts his own life at risk, but if he loses, his wife dies as well. The most insane part about this situation...it's based on a true story. The duel between Jean de Carrouges and his squire Jacques Le Gris was the last legally sanctioned duel in France's history.

In this nation, the men are the ones who have all the power. Jean de Carrouges is choosing to fight for his pride at the risk of his wife being burned alive. Though she's the one who's been attacked, she's also the one at this time in history with no power to do anything. And yet, she has the most to lose. As far as who will win this clash of brutes, it's anyone's game. Driver certainly looks bigger than Damon, and if it were based on who would actually win between them, our bet would be on the former Kylo Ren. But, in this story, Driver is the squire and Damon is the knight, so there's no question the odds are in Damon's favor. Watch the new trailer below.

There are only a handful of actors who've been able to perform their own stunts for most of their career. And there's only one group of jackasses that have made it their mission to do the most brutal and disgusting stunts that are purposely designed to fail for all of their career. These lunatics have been putting their bodies through the ringer for more than 20 years. So, we were shocked to hear the announcement that the gang would be getting back together again for another one. And lucky for everyone but them, Paramount dropped the first trailer today for their new film "Jackass Forever." So, let's break down the debauchery.

Most of the original insane crew has returned for this new adventure including Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, and Wee Man just to name a few. They've also added some new members to the crew and brought in some celebrity guests to join in on the fun. Though we're not sure if that's what we would call it. For instance, we see one stunt where artist Machine Gun Kelly is getting slapped off a stationary bike stand by a big hand into a pool. And he couldn't look happier doing it. But setting all the guests aside, the real action is with the veterans of this dangerously hilarious game. As is expected from Knoxville in every "Jackass" film, we can confirm that he will get hit and flipped by a bull.

You'd think after so many years of pain and concussions he'd finally decide to cut this bit out from the film, but he's a man of the people. Steve-O's advice on the matter, "Concussions aren't great. But as long as you have them before you're 50, it's cool. And Knoxville is 49. So, we're good." We'd say that this is also great news for another celebrity guest in the film, comedian Eric Andre, since he basically gets knocked out while trying to get food on his lunch break. 

Something else worth mentioning is now there's a girl doing stunts in the flick. Have you ever used a taser on your own tongue? Neither have we. But this new chick seems to do so without hesitation. When we think about this franchise, it's honestly a miracle that these guys can still perform stunts at their age. Well, maybe miracle isn't exactly the right word, but you get the gist. And if all of this still isn't enough, just wait until the last stunt in the trailer with Danger Ehren. We still don't understand how this guy draws the short straw in every film.

When we think about directors who surprise audiences with incredibly thoughtful and unexpected endings to their movies, M. Night Shyamalan is our guy. There are certainly other players in the game, but he's the director specifically known for it. That said, his latest Jedi mind trick that's premiering this weekend is "Old." The film follows a family that's trying to enjoy their vacation by going to a remote beach. For some odd reason, the instruction for this secluded sanctuary is that there are no kids allowed. If you know anything about M. Night Shyamalan movies, it's that the devil is in the details.

If you haven't seen the trailer yet, you can check it out by clicking here. In our opinion, to get in the mind of M. Night Shyamalan, you need to watch some of his other movies first. So, to help prepare you, we've picked out three of his best that you should watch before seeing "Old."
