India to Get 'Solace' Before the U.S.
Filed under: Action, Sony, James Bond, Trailers and Clips
Hold on to your missile-launching cuff links, 007 lovers -- this bit of James Bond intelligence may leave you searching for solace in more ways than one.According to The Hollywood Reporter, the superspy's latest adventure, Quantum Of Solace, will open in India before the film has even had its U.S. red carpet premiere.
Solace, which first shows in the U.K. on Oct. 31, hits Indian theaters a week later on Nov. 7 and then bows in North American theaters on Nov. 14. The move by Sony marks the first time that a major U.S. film has opened in India before hitting theaters Stateside.
As you may remember, Solace was initially set to storm into theaters across America on Nov. 7, but Sony pushed the release date back a week when Warner Bros. decided to give a certain boy wizard the year off, pushing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to summer 2009.
But before you decide to drop your hard-earned cash on a plane ticket to England or India for an early peek at the flick, there is some good news on the 007 front. The very retro, super sleek new music video for Alicia Keys and Jack White's Quantum theme song, Another Way to Die, hit Yahoo! today. Guess we can take some solace in that. Check it out after the jump.
'Changeling' Poster: Exclusive First Look

The last time Angelina Jolie received an Oscar nod was for playing a mental patient in 1999's Girl, Interrupted, for which she took home the statue for Best Supporting Actress. To give you an idea of how long ago that was, consider this: Winona Ryder -- and not Jolie -- was a box-office draw back then.
Now, after years of strong and sometimes overlooked performances (ahem, A Mighty Heart), Jolie is once again receiving battalions of Oscar buzz, this time for her role in Clint Eastwood's Changeling (get your exclusive first look at the poster above).
Based on real events that transpired in 1920s Los Angeles, Changeling is the tale of a mother (Jolie) whose abducted son is seemingly returned to her by the LAPD. Turns out the boy is not her flesh and blood, however -- or so she adamantly claims -- and thus Mama Jolie sets out to wring the truth from a corrupt police department unwilling to listen to her.
Changeling opens in limited release Oct. 24 and expands wide on Oct. 31.
