All eyes on
Vera Farmiga! Just to see that it's not all about
Bates Motel these days, we're here to report that this great actress is set to star in
David Dobkin‘s upcoming dramedy titled
The Judge! Yeah, yeah, this actually means that Farmiga will join previously announced
Robert Downey Jr. and
Robert Duvall!
Sounds good, or what?
Let us once again remind you that Dobkin is directing the whole thing from a script written by
Nick Schenk and
Bill Dubuque, which centers on:
…a big-city lawyer who returns to his childhood home where his estranged father, the town's judge, is suspected of murder. He sets out to discover the truth and along the way reconnects with the family he walked away from years before.
As we previously reported,
Robert Downey Jr. is on board to play the above mentioned lawyer, while
Robert Duvall is set to play his father.
According to
THR,
Vera Farmiga jumps in to play a waitress in the hometown, a woman who never left the small-town life and who has a history with Downey's character.
The rest of the cast will also include
Vincent D'Onofrio and
Billy Bob Thornton.
The Judge starts shooting this June in Boston!
