Changeling (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
Universal Home Video sends over the artwork for the Blu-ray release of the film
Title: Changeling (IMDb)
Starring: Angelina Jolie
Released: 17th February 2009
SRP: $29.98 (DVD)
Further Details:
Universal Home Video has announced DVD ($29.98) and Blu-ray ($39.98) releases of Changeling which stars Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich. The Clint Eastwood directed film will be available to own from the 17th February. The only extra material on the DVD release will be 2 featurettes (Partners in Crime: Clint Eastwood and Angelina Jolie, The Common Thread: Angelina Jolie Becomes Christine Collins). The Blu-ray release will include those featurettes, along with additional U-Control features (Archives, Los Angeles: Then and Now, Picture in Picture). We've attached the official package artwork below:



Quote: 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.

A renter. It'd be nice if they had a doc on the real life situations that inspired the movie.
Best film of 2008, hands down. Powerful, moving drama. Loved every single second of it and I will buy the Blu the day it comes out.
I want to see this but the extras are very lacking
Picking this up in a heart beat. One of my favorite films of 2008. Angelina Jolie was fantastic and everything was just great about it. I simply loved it.
Not interested.
Love Clint Eastwood's movies as director! I'll be definitely blind-buying Changeling on Blu-ray!!
The best movie of the year hands down, i'll be buying this the day it comes out, I absolutely loved it.
Nice cover, but not interested in the movie.
Looked interesting... will blind buy.
Hmmmmm, I haven't seen The Changeling yet unfortunately. My local cinema still hasn't gotten it in yet. I might just wait another month and import this. I'm not sure when it was officially released in the UK/Ire.
I'm a big Angelina fan, I just recently saw A Mighty Heart and she was fantastic in it IMO. When she gets the right material she is capable of giving a great performance.
Though I do enjoy seeing her in fluff like Wanted and Tomb Raider

This is a very strong film from Clint Eastwood and Angelina Jolie really gave a great performance, but I wouldn't go as far to call it the best film of 2008. The coveart is simple but very nice, I'll probably get it on blu-ray because the cinematography was also very good.
Gran Torino and Changeling, just a monster year for Clint Eastwood. 2 amazing films! thankyou sir.
am i the only one who thinks the cover is too simple? they should use the original poster!!! way better! :S
what a film, i coudn't have a chance to watch it in theaters, but i'll buy this when i have the chance, PS. Great movie
Solid movie and i will rent but i am not sure of the replay value. Also The blu ray features sound cool but my player sometimes can't access all the features(DAMN YOU SONY!!!) so....
Cover is classy. Heard great things about this but never had a chance to see it...I'll pick this BD up right away.
This premiers here tomorrow
I'm seeing it next week. I like the artwork and am looking forward seeing this.
great movie and even better cover art. A BUY FOR SURE
Great cover, great film, it will b mine.

I was thinking the same thing too. Although the original poster wasn't better. A big Angelina Jolie head next to the silhouette of a child that looks like a midget to Angelina Jolie's big head. I don't think so.

Classy cover, not a fan of Jolie's acting.
going to be getting this for sure.
HOLY F-ING SH*T! That artwork is AMAZING! So classy! I LOVE it!
The film was very good and I'll buy it.

Sorry, but I thought this was one of Clint's weaker efforts (still good though). GRAN TORINO on the other hand is one of his best!
Great artwok.Classy

Lack of extras is a reason to not see a film you want to see?
It's brilliant IMO. I'll definitely be getting the BD.

As will I Brad. I assume like all Universal BD releases so far it will be region free. Hope so, looking forward to importing this one. My local cinema are getting it in this friday. Might as well wait a few weeks and own it.
