The works of visionary writer Philip K. Dick have inspired some cinematic masterpieces.
Blade Runner, Minority Report and Total Recall are great examples of directors taking the ideas and themes from Dick’s works and creating some impressive sci-fi films, and while my personal favourite, The Man in the High Castle, hasn’t made it to the big screen Dick’s 1954 short story Adjustment Team will hit the big screen as The Adjustment Bureau this year, and there’s a new trailer for us to enjoy.
Matt Damon and Emily Blunt star in George Nolfi’s adaptation and the trailer comes to us via Yahoo, and we get a great look at the world Nolfi is looking to create, and like Christopher Nolan’s Inception, this has shades of paranoia and discombobulation all around.
I like the shot in trailer of the behatted Adjustment Bureau on top of a rooftop, invoking Magritte and perhaps this is a visual nod to a slightly surreal take on the story of a man who is pursued by the titular agency.
