Clint Eastwood’s Changeling Joins Competition At Cannes

Posted on Apr 23, 2008 11:44:08 AM | Filed under: News Chat


ClintCannes just got a a lot more macho. We get wind today that Clint Eastwood is bringing the Changeling to compete in the fest. We get the following news thanks to the professionals over at Variety:

Clint Eastwood’s “Changeling,” a 1920s-set mystery thriller starring Angelina Jolie, will be part of the competition lineup at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival. The full slate of Cannes Official Selection entries is being announced today in Paris. “Changeling,” which Universal will release domestically in November, also stars John Malkovich, Amy Ryan and Colm Feore. Pic will be Eastwood’s fifth to compete in Cannes, after “Pale Rider,” “White Hunter, Black Heart,” “Bird” and “Mystic River.”

Clint Eastwood is an outstanding director and is one of Hollywoods most decorated, well rounded veterans. If we were playing a game of Hollywood pick up, Clint could very well make first pick. His outstanding performances and legendary films make him among the wisest of elders in the temple of Hollywood.

If Clint has signed up to compete, I am guessing that he is bringing quality to the table and seeks to get the buzz rolling on his picture. I am interested in seeing his collaboration with Jolie and am wondering if he will bring another memorable performance out of the mysterious vixen. If any of our international friends make it to Cannes, please fill us in on the details and if possible - a review of this film!
