The first trailer for Robert Downey Jr.’s The Judge has arrived and if the trailer is anything to by, this is going to tug on the heart strings in all the right places (or wrong ones, depending on your view of public wailing). Having wrapped shooting on Avengers: Age Of Ultron, RDJ announced the trailer’s arrival on his Facebook Page stating
“Susan and I are delighted that this wound up being the first movie produced through our Team Downey production company at Warner Bros. It’s a drama with lots of heart and wit.... might be the best thing I've been part of yet...beginner’s luck, perhaps.
An original story from our director, David Dobkin, it’s a modern tale of conflict, judgment, death, regret, irony, family dysfunction, hilarity, and of course, unconditional love. When a miserable hotshot Chicago lawyer returns home to a small town in Indiana for his mother’s funeral, he is forced to deal with a lifetime at odds with his legendarily stoic superior court justice father (aka The Judge).
What could possibly go wrong? Shame and secrets, old flames and...murder perhaps?
Again, thanks for your patronage; I'll keep trying to make things interesting.”
First impressions are great as far as I’m concerned and there seems to be some superb chemistry between RDJ and Robert Duvall.
Released: October 10th USA / October 24th IRELAND & UK
