Plot Summary: Clint Eastwood directs Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich 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.

I'm really glad they changed the title to this over the previous "The Changeling". That title reminded me too much of the 80's horror film.

Looks like this will be a good one, although it'll probably do better to go straight to DVD.

i was all excite this was based on the book the changeling by jane yolen.
NOPE sounds boring.
jane yolens book has similar thing where child is replaced but replaced by a fairy and the son must venture into the near by mountains to challenge the fairies to get his sister back!

I really thought this was going to be a re-make of The Changeling. I was a little disappointed to find out it wasn't since I enjoyed that movie. But, it still sounds interesting. Although, I will probably wait till it's released on video to see.

I'm looking forward to seeing Eastwood's direction and Straczynski's writing. Joe's great with the underdog against impossible odds. His female characters are powerful, dynamic and real. I am definitely seeing this at the theater.
