A Hollywood film starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon is being shot in County Meath.

Scenes for 'The Last Duel' will be shot in the village of Bective next month and producers are on the hunt for Irish extras to get involved. They're holding an open casting for Irish-based extras on Friday 21st February at Liberty Hall, Eden Quay in Dublin between 10am and 6pm.

A spokesperson told The Meath Chronicle that:

"We will be looking to directly employ lots of film extras for huge crowd scenes in the coming months".

"We want men and women, bone thin, medium or broadly built, sporty types, tall, short, long and short hair, bald men and women, naturally coloured hair or be prepared to dye it, long and short beards, no beards, amputees, crooked or missing teeth."

Adam Driver and Jodie Comer also star in the film while Ridley Scott will be sitting in the director's chair. As well as shooting in parts of County Meath, they plan to shoot scenes in Dublin, Wicklow and Tipperary.

The work will be paid and they're looking for "quirky, unusual, weird and wonderful looks or skills".

Their Facebook page describes film as follows:

"'The Last Duel’ is an epic period feature film soon to be shot in various parts of Ireland over the coming months."

"It will be directed by Ridley Scott 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 a tale of betrayal and justice."
