Universal Studios Home Entertainment is set to release director Clint Eastwood’s drama Changeling on Blu-ray on Feb.17th for the suggested retail price of $29.98.
Starring Academy Award winners, Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich, Changeling arrives on Blu-ray Hi-Def with exclusive extras that allow the audience to visually experience the city of Los Angeles as it is today in contrast to 1928; when Christine Collins’ (Angelina Jolie) tragic story unfolds.
Other extras on the disc include a unique look at the making of the film, which gives insight on the script’s genesis, Clint Eastwood’s effective approach at directing and the detailed production design. Synopsis: 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.
