Changeling!

The next few updates will feature all the amazing trailers that have been released this weekend.

First up is Changeling from Universal Pictures, here is the synopsis from their website...

4-Time Academy Award Winner Clint Eastwood (Million Dollar Baby & Unforgiven) directs Academy Award Winner Angelina Jolie (Girl, Interrupted) and Academy Award Nominees John Malkovich (In the Line of Fire & Places in the Heart) and Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone) in a provocative thriller based on actual events: Changeling. In the film, Christine Collins' (Jolie) prayers are met when her kidnapped son is returned. But amidst the frenzy of the photo-op reunion, she realizes this child is not hers. Facing corrupt police and a skeptical public, she desperately hunts for answers, only to be confronted by a truth that will change her forever.

Los Angeles, 1928: On a Saturday morning in a working-class suburb, Christine said goodbye to her son, Walter, and left for work. When she came home, she discovered he had vanished. A fruitless search ensues, and months later, a boy claiming to be the nine-year-old is returned. Dazed by the swirl of cops, reporters and her conflicted emotions, Christine allows him to stay overnight. But in her heart, she knows he is not Walter.

As she pushes authorities to keep looking, she learns that in Prohibition-era L.A. women don't challenge the system and live to tell their story. Slandered as delusional and unfit, Christine finds an ally in activist Reverend Briegleb (Malkovich), who helps her fight the city to look for her missing boy. Based on the actual incident that rocked California's legal system, Changeling tells the shocking tale of a mother's quest to find her son, and those who won't stop until they silence her.

The film is scheduled to be released on October 24th.
