First Look: Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams & Justin Timberlake In Baseball Drama 'Trouble With The Curve'

Even though little has been heard from the film, upcoming baseball drama "Trouble with the Curve" will mark Clint Eastwood's first on-screen role since 2008's "Gran Torino." It will also be the first time since 1993's "In the Line of Fire" that he isn't directing himself. But he's got a trusted friend and collaborator behind the camera in Robert Lorenz -- making his directorial debut here -- who has worked as an assistant director to Eastwood on "Mystic River" and "Million Dollar Baby" and is partner with Clint at his shingle Malpaso Productions.

EW have now unveiled the first official look at the film, which features Eastwood alongside Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake in the dramatic tale of aging Atlanta Braves scout Gus who, due to vision problems, must team with his neglected daughter on a crucial scouting trip that'll no doubt double as family bonding time. “He gets his chance to prove whether he still has value as a scout—and as a dad,” helmer Lorenz explains. “They’re having trouble communicating. They always have, and now they’ve come to a point in the relationship where it’s either going to change or it’s not. He needs a little help, and she decides it’s worth the effort.”
