Emily Blunt joins Adjustment Bureau

Emily Blunt has locked in a deal to play Matt Damon’s mysterious love interest in the sci-fi thriller Adjustment Bureau.

The plot has Damon as a smarmy, smooth politician who suddenly finds his life barrelling out of control when he meets a strange ballerina (Blunt).

Bourne Ultimatum/Ocean’s Twelve writer George Nolfi adapted the script from Philip K Dick’s short story and will step up to direct.

Universal is splashing the cash to get the movie made and Nolfi will kick off shooting this September in New York.
