Long before the term Brangelina—and all the crazy fascination that comes with it—ever entered our consciousness, there was actually a time, believe it or not, when folks simply focused on Angelina Jolie the actress. And based on the new trailer for her flick, Changeling, people just might start seeing her that way again.

The word changeling means a child who is secretly substituted for another (thank you, Merriam-Webster), which makes for an appropriate title for the movie since it's, well, about a child who is secretly substituted for another. In this case, it's the 1920s, and Angelina plays a woman whose kidnapped son is returned to her, only she thinks the boy is not her own, sparking a whole lot of dramatic scene chewing and, with John Malkovich as a creepy-sounding pastor, surely a lot of scene stealing as well.

Have a look and let us know what you think in the comments. We gotta go. Apparently Brad and Angie were just spotted doing something.
