Traffic Jams As Movie Promos

Angelina Jolie Stops Travel for 'The Changeling'

Tomorrow marks the premiere of Angelina Jolie's new movie 'The Changeling,' and the Brangelina brood literally stopped traffic when they arrived in New York City yesterday. Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, their staff, and Brangelina's multicultural children checked into a midtown Manhattan hotel last night as frenzied onlookers brought city traffic to a standstill.

Angelina Jolie and family have been living in Berlin, Germany while Brad Pitt films 'Inglorious Bastards.' Angelina Jolie's film, 'The Changeling,' is a 1920s period thriller set in Los Angeles and directed by Clint Eastwood. The movie is loosely based upon the Wineville Chicken Murders of 1928.

It's rumored that Angelina Jolie has been suffering from a bout of postpartum depression, so the time she's spending in New York will hopefully set her spirits straight.
