Paramount Studios announced this week they are delaying the release date of The Soloist, a movie about a homeless, schizophrenic virtuoso violinist (Jamie Foxx) and the LA Times columnist who befriends him (Robert Downey Jr.). It was scheduled to be in theaters before Thanksgiving, but thanks to our rough economy, they're holding off until mid-March 2009.

Bummer. The impatient, easily-excitable side of me was really looking forward to seeing this film. And apparently, I wasn't the only one. The blogosphere was buzzing with talk of Oscar nods for both the film and the actors.

Homelessness.change.org will feature lots of interviews and background content about The Soloist leading up to its release... so stay tuned.

[Alas, this trailor will have to hold us over until March!]
