Last week: it was announced that Matt Damon and “Bourne Ultimatum” writer George Nolfi had teamed-up for a sci-fi love story called, “The Adjustment Bureau.” It would be Nolfi’s directorial debut and its’ loosely based on a Phillip K. Dick novel (the great sci-fi writer, who Hollywood has consistently raped for ideas including the basis of “Blade Runner”).
This week: Universal has picked up the project. Much like how Chris Nolan is taking a break from Batman to shoot “Inception,” Damon and Nolfi will tackle this first before the 4th Jason Bourne film which writer/director is also penning.
According to Variety, Damon will shoot this after the Clint Eastwood Mandela project and he will play “a charismatic congressman who seems destined for national political stardom. He meets a beautiful ballet dancer, only to find strange circumstances keeping their sparks from catching fire.” Dude, cause she’s a replicant!
