3/6/09 - Universal is finalizing a deal with Media Rights Capital for the film The Adjustment Bureau, which would star Matt Damon in a contemporary love story with sci-fi overtones loosely based on a Philip K. Dick story, reported Variety.  In the original 1954 short story "Adjustment Team," a real estate salesman found that his world was really a soundstage under the control of mysterious overlords, but in the film, Damon's character will instead be a charismatic congressman apparently destined for national political stardom. Once he meets a beautiful ballet dancer, strange circumstances will conspire to keep them apart.  The Adjustment Bureau is to be written and directed by George Nolfi.
