Scott's production house, Scott Free Productions, and Kevin Walsh will produce this film, which is backed by 20th Century Studios. David Scarpa, known for All the Money in the World, is writing the script of the film. Scott is currently finishing up The Last Duel and will shoot a murder drama starring Lady Gaga thereafter. Kitbag's production is scheduled to start after that.

Script
"There is a general's staff hidden in every soldier's kitbag"

The film derives its title from the famous saying, "There is a general's staff hidden in every soldier's kitbag."

About to turn 83 this November, his current project, The Last Duel, stars Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jodi Comer and Adam Driver. Set in the 14th century, the film depicts the duel between a knight (Damon) and his squire (Driver), also best friends, over an allegation of sexual assault.

Also on his to-do list just before Kitbag is a crime drama on the assassination of the Gucci fashion empire scion Maurizio Gucci.
