Philip K. Dick's short story Adjustment Team becomes a member of the PKD adaptation team this weekend. Other members of this illustrious group include Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly, but unlike those darker, dystopic films, The Adjustment Bureau is more romantic -- on a date with destiny, where the date is more important than the actual destiny. Politician David Norris (played by Matt Damon) has a chance to be President, but he'd give it all up for love with a saucy ballerina (played by Emily Blunt). Too bad for the would-be couple that the Adjustment Bureau has a different plan for them, and will do anything to keep them apart. Writer/director George Nolfi (who wrote Ocean's Twelve and co-wrote The Bourne Ultimatum) explains how he made the story different than any Dick adaptation before.

David Norris is the youngest Congressman elected to the House of Representatives. He's running for a seat in the Senate when an embarassing incident from his college days surfaces (thanks to the New York Post), damaging his chances. While he's preparing his concession speech, he meets a woman -- they talk, they kiss, and they fall in love. That moment changes him -- and so changed, he gives a very different speech than the one prepared. The ripple effects are huge, and now David (played by Matt Damon) seems fated for a road to the White House, which is right where the agents of the Adjustment Bureau want him to be -- too bad for them, he'd rather have the girl. Damon talks about fighting the agents of fate in The Adjustment Bureau, and what kind of role fate has had in his own career.

Harry Mitchell is a case officer, and his biggest case at the moment is David Norris. He's been with David since he was born, orchestrating all the big and small moments in his life, so that he'll live up to his potential. So that he'll become the youngest Congressman ever elected to the House of Representatives, and eventually, hopefully, the President. So if that means David needs to crave public approval, Harry (played by Anthony Mackie) is in charge of killing off David's family members, to help create that emptiness and need for love and approval. Only problem is, Harry's had a change of heart. Mackie talks about being an agent of fate in The Adjustment Bureau, and what he thinks about fate versus free will in the real world.

Richardson decides when you spill your coffee. When you miss a bus. When your phone is out of service range. All the seemingly small events in your life that become more important due to their ripple effects (needing to go grab another shirt, being late for work, missing an appointment). And as an agent of fate in The Adjustment Bureau, Richardson (played by John Slattery) has an assignment to keep apart two would-be lovers, played by Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, even if a series of chances keeps throwing them back together. Slattery weighs fate against free will, and questions whether he should dye his distinctive silver hair.

Elise Sellas is a contemporary ballet dancer who meets a politician under rather odd circumstances -- she's hiding out from security in a hotel bathroom, he's ducked in the same bathroom to prepare a concession speech. In the space of a few minutes, they talk, they kiss -- and they fall in love. A chance meeting? In their world, there's no such thing as chance. A shadowy organization has a plan which controls everyone's fates, but something goes askew once Elise (played by Emily Blunt) and David (played by Matt Damon) fall for each other -- which definitely wasn't according to plan. Blunt talks about the love story at the heart of The Adjustment Bureau, and what it took to make the relationship work.

The Hurt Locker is a film I've been desperate to see ever since I watched the first trailer months ago. It's got a great cast (Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Guy Pearce, Ralph Fiennes, Brian Geraghty, and Evangeline Lilly) and those who've already seen it says it lives up to the hype and is fantastic!
