The lovely Emily Blunt will star alongside Matt Damon in George Nolfi's upcoming thriller "The Adjustment Bureau," based on a short story by Philip K. Dick.

Damon is on board to star as a promising congressman whose career takes a turn when he meets a beautiful ballet dancer, played by Blunt.

As it turns out, he quickly discovers there are mysterious forces that are trying to keep them apart, which is why he embarks on a mission to find out what is really going on. Nolfi also wrote the script.

Blunt, an actress I always love to see on the big screen, recently starred in "Sunshine Cleaning." She's got "The Wolf Man" and "Gulliver's Travels" coming up soon.
