Matt Damon and George Nolfi had so much fun making “Ocean’s 12″ and “The Bourne Ultimatum” that the two have joined forces once again to make a movie version of the Philip K. Dick short story “Adjustment Team”, since retitled “The Adjustment Bureau”. The film is described as a “sci-fi love story”, and the duo are currently seeking a home for the movie.

From Variety:

Damon is at the center of “The Adjustment Bureau,” a contemporary science fiction love story that was shopped to studios by Media Rights Capital.

Nolfi wrote a script that is loosely based on a Philip K. Dick short story, and he will make his directing debut on the film, which will begin production by late summer.

More about the story via Wikipedia:

“Adjustment Team” is a science fiction short story by Philip K. Dick. It was first published in Orbit Science Fiction in 1954, and later published in The Book of Philip K. Dick in 1992, and in Selected Stories of Philip K. Dick in 2002.

Ed Fletcher, a real estates salesman, finds out that our world is really, in effect, one big soundstage controlled by strange and mysterious guardians. The plot is very similar to the 1998 science fiction film Dark City and other works suggesting the idea of a manufactured reality.

It also sounds a lot like “The Truman Show”, which is not a surprise, as a lot of today’s sci-fi movies can be traced back to being “inspired” by a Philip K. Dick story from decades ago.
