Clint Eastwood unveiled his latest movie at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this week. The Exchange (which is being released under it’s former title Changeling in the U.S.) stars Angelina Jolie as a mother whose young son suddenly vanishes. Set in 1928 Los Angeles and based on one of the most notorious crimes in LA history, Jolie’s character is suddenly confronted, months after the disappearance with a nine-year old boy claiming to be her missing son. The LAPD turns the “successful return” into a publicity stunt, while Jolie is convinced that the boy is not her son and is thrown in an insane asylum for disagreeing with the LAPD.
Our friends at Ioncinema called the film “another formulaic endeavor from Eastwood - nice looking, expensive film that fails to stick”. We have new photos and you can watch the first video clip by clicking the link below.
Clint Eastwood’s Changeling will hit theaters on November 7th 2008.

Eastwood’s one of the few filmmakers that i listen to absolutely noone’s opinions on. i really could care less what people think, say, feel, or interpret about his flicks - even if it’s positive, because:
me & clint got a mystical bond that transcends director/audience member…wait, will those be the opening lines in ‘the state vs. orange cinema’?! oh well, it’s worth it.
anyways, this was a smart movie for jolie, she needs to remind people she can still read a good script and make a good film.

Do I know the whole plot now, or is what you described just the set up?

Angelina Jolie in, “Hand Over My Face”

I don’t imagine this will be box office gold, but along the same lines as Orange… I will go see anything Clint Eastwood directs simply because of his brilliant track record. Jolie is an amazing actress as well, with real talent/appeal, so we will always forgive her for making the odd stinker.

Wow. That clip was pretty terrible. Acting-wise and logic-wise.

It’s funny…Angelina Jolie is sooo popular and gets so much tabloid attention but nobody sees 90% of her movies. She should just model.
