Eastwood and Malkovich kinda, sorta, square-off again
What did happen to you that day? Only one agent reacted to the gunfire, and you were closer to Kennedy than he was. You must have looked up at the window of the Texas Book Depository, but you didn’t react. Late at night, when the demons come, do you see the rifle coming out of that window, or do you see Kennedy’s head being blown apart? If you’d reacted to that first shot, could you have gotten there in time to stop the big bullet? And if you had – that could’ve been your head being blown apart. Do you wish you’d succeeded, Frank? Or is life too precious?
3 more are onboard Clint Eastwood’s next pic “The Changeling” – and one of them is the would-be-presidential-assassin that Easty caught in the nick of time in Wolfgang Peterson’s “In the Line of Fire” (1993). Alas John Malkovich and Eastwood won’t be sharing scenes again, because Eastwood’s merely directing this puppy. Still, good pickings Mr.director.
Also Joining star Angelina Jolie in the movie are Jeffrey Donovan (TVs “Burn Notice”) and Colm Feore (“The Chronicles of Riddick”), says The Hollywood Reporter.
The story follows a woman (Jolie) whose son goes missing in 1920s Los Angeles. The police return the wrong child and the woman is thrown into an insane asylum for disagreeing with the LAPD. When it seems that her real son has been murdered by a child serial killer and the child returned admits to fraud, she takes her case to the city council and takes down the mayor, the police chief and several corrupt officers, concurrently sparking changes in the insanity legislation.
Donovan will play a police captain, Feore the chief of police and Malkovich a reverend.
