The Adjustment Bureau Trailer Dropped Today

The first trailer for the Damon/Blunt staring film,  and George Nolfi directorial debut, The Adjustment Bureau, is here tree-readin' fools.

The story follows a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he's ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York. 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. But just as he realizes he's falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart.


If you read my stuff, you'd know I have a penchant for Blunt, 'cuz... oh man, too many reasons. She's invigoratingly sexy, and real good in front of the camera too. Nolfi, who is primarily a writer, has written the wonderful, intricate, quick-witted and funny (and slightly pretentious and self-absorbed) Ocean's Twelve. He also penned The Sentinel, and co-wrote The Bourne Ultimatum with Tony Gilroy. Gilroy went on from writing to directing too, with the Oscar robbed, Michael Clayton. So let's see if Nolfi can pull off as good a hit. From the trailer, it looks slick, smart, and well crafted. Even though I'm not going for it for a few reasons (sorta get's a little hokey, but that's  Philip K. Dick for ya). Just watch the thing. If Damon isn't running from government men and shouting orders to someone he can save, he just ain't happy son.

 

The story is loosely based on the Philip K. Dick short story, "Adjustment Team". The cast includes Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker, She Hate Me), John Slattery (Howard Stark, Mad Men), and Terence Stamp (So much shit but, the blind dude in Electra and General Zod from Superman II should suffice).

Well, I'll be following this, even though it comes out, September 17th, it's sure to have one or more egg's dropped in the trades worth reporting.

Now without further adieu, Damon's finest work and the biggest Oscar-Snub ever.



Munki Out.

Fact or Fiction? Emily Blunt To Be Catwoman In B3?

Most likely fiction, because I've been hearing crazy casting news for over a year now on this next installment. The trades have been riddled with the rumors and rumblings of this RUMOR. And evidently, no one knows weather this stuff is legit or not. And the film in question? Batman 3 = Emily Blunt as Catwoman?

A Review: 69 Year's Old = You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks (But You Can Epically Fail Trying)

Five times out of ten, I'll start a post by listing off the names of a new or current film project. Usually meaning that just by the names and director/writer(s) alone, they can't miss (much). Which is why I'm about to do it again. But honestly, that only get's you so far. In almost more than half the cases, an All-star cast and crew doesn't always mean you're getting something as good one would first surmise.

Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from The Matrix series) Emily Blunt (Red Head Brit from Devil Wears Prada) Benicio del Toro and the great and powerful Anthony Hopkins. All lead by Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III). With a cast like that how can you loose?! Certainly 3/4's of them thought the new take on timeless character was extremely awesome?! And that the script was worth it? And even that Johnston would pull it together? Well, that was the intentions of the film in the beginning @ least...
