The Adjustment Bureau Trailer
We can’t get enough of adaptations of Philip K Dick’s work. The results can often be hit or miss, but even the misses raise potentially interesting questions. It’s just a shame that those questions aren’t dealt with effectively enough in the films they are sometimes presented in.
Let us hope then, Matt Damon’s new thriller The Adjustment Bureau is one of the better works.
On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt)-a woman like none he’s ever known. Just as he realizes he’s falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart.
David learns he is up against the agents of fate itself – the men of The Adjustment Bureau – who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path or risk everything to defy fate and be with her.
The Adjustment Bureau is written for the screen and directed by George Nolfi (writer of Ocean’s Twelve, co-writer of The Bourne Ultimatum) and is out in March 2011.
