Here’s a first look at #TheJudge. This is the kind of movie I grew up wanting to make. Only took 49 years. Enjoy. https://t.co/gc4JwNLe72

You need proof that Robert Downey Jr. is one of the most powerful men in Hollywood? He just debuted the first trailer for his next movie, The Judge, on his own Twitter account. So not only is he the star; he’s the marketing department as well. The movie stars Downey as a successful defense lawyer who returns to his hometown for his mother’s funeral. Upon his return, he finds that his estranged father (Robert Duvall) is suspected of murder.

This surprisingly human story is a welcome change of pace for Downey, who has been playing many superhuman characters over the past few years. Take a look at the trailer in Downey’s tweet above.

The Judge will hit theaters on October 10.
