Robert Downey Jr. Film “The Judge” will Open Toronto Film Festival

Share

The film festival wars get more interesting. Toronto just announced that “The Judge,” starring Robert Downey Jr and Robert Duvall, will be their premiere on September 4th. The Warner Bros release co-stars Vera Farmiga, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jeremy Strong, Dax Shepard and Billy Bob Thornton. David Dobkin wrote and directed. WB’s Sue Kroll is going to get Downey an Oscar if this film is any good, mark my words. He’s overdue. Sue said in a release:  “We are so proud to be taking The Judge to TIFF, and honored to be in the opening night slot. The film is truly deserving and we believe the always-discerning audience in Toronto will appreciate it as much as we do.”
