Matt Damon and Emily Blunt are running from a formidable foe – the very destiny of the world itself – in their upcoming sci-fi thriller, The Adjustment Bureau.
The movie’s first trailer is out, and it shows Damon and Blunt’s characters starting to fall in love, before creepy dudes in trenchcoats intervene. These are the guys – normally unseen by humans – who control fate. And, free will be damned – Damon and Blunt, a budding politician and a ballerina, were never supposed to meet.
The movie, based on a Philip K. Dick story, is due in theaters on Sept. 17. In real life, fate has been kinder to Damon and Blunt lately. His wife is expecting another child, while she recently became engaged to actor John Krasinski.

WHILE Emily Blunt continues to refuse to talk about her split from singer Michael Bublé, it seems her former fiancé has no such qualms.
The couple split in 2008 after three years together and are both now engaged to other people – 34-year-old Michael Bubleto Argentinian actress Luisana Lopilato, 22, while Emily Blunt, 27, is due to wed American actor John Krasinski, 30.
And while the British actress and Young Victoria star retains a dignified silence over their break-up, Canadian crooner Michael has talked of the split for the second time in six months.
In November he spoke about having to go to therapy to deal with their break-up and now he reveals his latest album Crazy Love was born out of the sadness he felt .
“There was a lot of introspection and sadness and regret and at the same time hope,” he tells the New York Times. “Because I knew that, especially in the moment, I could really mean what I sang. It was therapeutic but it wasn’t exactly a feel-good thing. But in a weird way it was exciting for me to be that vulnerable and for the first time, really, to be that honest.”

The star — who shot to fame playing snooty magazine assistant Emily Charlton in The Devil Wears Prada — says her friends are the secret to her acting talent, but she refuses to reveal the individuals who have inspired her performances through fear they may never talk to her again.
“I never tell who it is I base my character quirks on in case they get offended — but I do base them on real people,” she said.
“As an actor I see myself a bit like a sponge where I absorb people’s different characteristics. It makes my characters on screen more realistic.”
Blunt, 27, recently admitted she’s addicted to watching reality TV. • Continue Reading?

Last fall, Emily Blunt settled in on the New York City set of “The Adjustment Bureau” but confessed there was something unsettling about the impending production: She was set to play a ballerina opposite Matt Damon, yet, as she told us at the time, had “never bloody danced before.”
The duo play star-crossed lovers whose gaga-at-first-sight encounter becomes a source of what-coulda-been frustration as they’re kept apart by inexplicable, string-pulling forces. With the film’s echoes of “The Matrix,” “The Truman Show” and “Dark City,” it’s better to know little about the plot particulars. You won’t have to wait too long to check it out for yourself.
“Adjustment Bureau” hits theaters July 30, and as part of MTV News’ Summer Movie Preview, we’re bringing you another chat with the always delightful Blunt. Safely back in Los Angeles after her ballet experimentation, the 27-year-old British actress gave us a call to talk about her harrowing dance preparation, the sources of Damon’s actorly inspiration and the importance of munching doughnuts in the middle of the night.
MTV: We have to start with the dancing. You were worried last time we talked. How’d it go? Were there tears?
Emily Blunt: The tears did start to flow. I did cry a lot in pain. It was actually an extraordinary experience, because I don’t think I’ve ever had to do something that frightened me to that degree, day in and day out. I had to combat those fears of excruciating embarrassment that I couldn’t do these moves. But I pushed through, and it was really rewarding at the end. I think it’s that strange thing where you have to learn to do something physical — you can’t blag your way out of it. It’s so extreme in how precise it is. I got in the best shape of my life, so I was grateful for it, in a way. • Continue Reading?

Marvel can’t get enough of Emily Blunt. After a scheduling conflict kept the 27-year-old actress from trying on Black Widow’s skin-tight garb in “Iron Man 2,” the Marvel folks approached her again with an offer to star as leading lady Peggy Carter in “The First Avenger: Captain America.”
Blunt reportedly passed on the chance to star alongside Chris Evans in that film, and now she exclusively tells MTV News why.
“I’m a big supporter of [director] Joe Johnston and I think that ‘Captain America’ is going to be really fun and I gather that the story is really interesting,” she said. “It just wasn’t what I wanted to do next, to be honest.” • Continue Reading?

Did Emily Blunt pass on playing Peggy Carter in “The First Avenger: Captain America” in favor of another comic book movie role? Is Harrison Ford gearing up for an alien invasion out in the Wild West? For the moment, the answer to both of those questions is a big, fat maybe.
Two rumors have reared their head over the past 24 hours, one pertaining to Blunt’s decision to decline a role in “Captain America” and another suggesting that the erstwhile Indiana Jones is saddling up for an upcoming comic book movie.
In both cases, these rumors are fully noted as just that — rumors — but that doesn’t make them any less interesting to consider!
An unidentified source tells Batman On Film that Emily Blunt passed on “Captain America” because she’s hoping to star as Selina Kyle in “Batman 3″ — “if Chris Nolan uses the character,” the source notes. Both BOF and the unknown source are quick to classify Blunt’s Catwoman hopes as a rumor, so take the news with a hefty heaping of salt. • Continue Reading?
