Clint Eastwood’s “Trouble with the Curve” to close Tokyo Film Fest

Trouble with the Curve, starring Clint Eastwood and directed by his protégé Robert Lorenz, will close the 25th Tokyo International Film Festival on Oct. 28, The Hollywood Reporter said.

The film tells the tale of an aging baseball scout (Eastwood) with failing vision who takes a road trip to check out a hot prospect with his daughter, played by Amy Adams, during which they finally connect with each other.

John Goodman and Justin Timberlake also play scouts in the film, the latter acting as love interest for Adams’ character, while Eastwood’s son Scott appears as a baseball player.

The film will be released by Warner Entertainment Japan on Nov. 23. It opens in the U.S. on Sept. 21.
