The trailer for George Nolfi’s The Adjustment Bureau. Matt Damon and Emily Blunt’s star power, assisted by John Slattery (again in period-y garb) and Terrence Stamp, gives the film a bigger jolt and more heft than its slightly Box-like premise would imply. Damon has yet to appear in a bad movie (outside perhaps of Stuck on You), and his films are always leagues smarter than anything else in the marketplace. It’s writer George Nolfi’s first feature, and his scripts tend to be elevated by top-notch directors (Ocean’s Twelve, The Bourne Ultimatum). The film may not be a home-run, but it has the definite chance to be a sly, under-the-radar, intellectual gem. (via /Film)
Here’s a trailer that’s both intriguing and seemingly not well put together, or, rather, put together by the numbers. The little things I’ve heard about this film, and based on this trailer, I’m hoping for something decent, but I have some doubts, I have to admit. Phillip K. Dick, like Vonnegut, is an author that can have some pretty out there ideas in prose form, some exciting ideas that ignite the imagination, but for some reason always get realized rather poorly in adaptations.
