Anthony Ruivivar is the latest addition to the film, now presently lensing in New York. The 38-year-old actor has had roles in A Perfect Getaway, Tropic Thunder and Starship Troopers. On the tube he played Carlos Nieto in over one hundred episodes of Third Watch.

Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker) has been cast in the film in an unrevealed role. The actor is currently starring in a New York play. Once his duties to the stage are over he will immediately report to the set of The Adjustment Bureau.

Carson Reeves has reviewed george Nolfi's screenplay for The Adjustment Bureau. While Reeves says that he liked the screen story he also states that, while he came close to loving it like a classic read, greatness slipped by because Nolfi's script zigged instead of zagged. "Up until page 32, I thought I had a 'genius' on my hands," writes the reviewer. |I purposefully went into it blind and as the story unfolded, I found myself inching closer and closer to the screen. I was actually on the edge of my seat...for a screenplay. As the setup came to a close however, I began to realize this wasn't going to be the script I wanted it to be. The sci-fi element that made the story so unique and interesting, faded into the background in favor of a heavy love story. Had I prepped myself for that, I would've been more tolerant. But I couldn't help thinking of the potential this kind squandered."

But like we said, Carson didn't hate The Adjustment Bureau. Find out why he liked it in his moderate spoiler-filled review.

Emily Blunt has been cast in The Adjustment Bureau in the part of the mysterious ballarina and love interest of Matt Damon's character. Filming is presently scheduled to start in mid-September.

Blunt's upcoming screen work include The Wolfman and Gulliver's Travels.
