What is it about Clint Eastwood and his fascination with missing/possibly dead children? Sure, he has only made two films that fit that bill, to my knowledge, the first being “Mystic River,” which garnered a Best Actor win for Sean Penn for his portrayal of a grieving/revengeful father, and the second being “Changeling,” which could do the same for Ms. Angelina Jolie. After all, she knows a thing or two about children, ahem, and if anyone had to tap into the emotions that would result from losing one of them, I’m sure she’d do a great job of that, providing that she has a little more to say/over dramatically scream than,” I want MY son back.” Which I am sure she does. Of course, this is an Oscar-tailored film from the gorgeous production aspects to the cast and the pedigree director but up until this trailer was released; my only interest in it came from how good it looks on paper. And while the trailer did not knock me out, I like it and I want to see the film more than ever. Which means, it did its job. And I think I get the title now, maybe. Excuse the rambling, it’s been a long week. [Trailer Addict via LiC]
If that doesn’t grab you, check out the “Revolutionary Road” first-look trailer, which I have decided not to post because there is such a thing as trailer overload. Later today, however, check back for the “Doubt” trailer, I wouldn’t miss that for anything.
