The Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall starrer gets the plum opening night slot at the 2014 edition.
The Toronto Film Festival will open its 2014 edition with David Dobkin’s family drama The Judge, which stars Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall.
The Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow release was initially booked for a world premiere in the Special Presentations sidebar, but at week's end was promoted to the plum opening night slot.
“The stars aligned and we are thrilled to announce that we will kick off the festival with The Judge,” said Piers Handling, director and CEO of the Toronto festival, in a statement Friday about the studio film.
“David Dobkin has delivered a moving, textured story about family, duty and the way we remember our past. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to this year’s event," Handling added.
