The acclaimed science-fiction romance The Adjustment Bureau, starring Matt Damon (Green Zone) and Emily Blunt (The Wolfman), debuted on DVD
This is one film we’re excited about. Based on the short story “Adjustment Team” by great sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick (Total Recall, Minority Report), the movie considers the question of whether we can control our own destiny. Damon plays David Norris, a rising politician who falls for Elise Sellas, a promising ballet dancer (Blunt). As David tries to pursue a relationship with Elise, the Adjustment Bureau steps in to keep them apart explaining that their job is to keep people on track. Now David has to make a choice between love and fate.
Written by George Nolfi (The Bourne Ultimatum) and his directorial debut, the PG-13 film also stars Terence Stamp (Valkyrie), Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker), John Slattery (Iron Man 2) and Jon Stewart in a cameo as himself. The movie, which also is a thriller, grossed $60 million in theaters.
