Philip K. Dick has blessed the world with alien conspiracies, machines and humans that can predict the future, and one iconic android bounty hunter. The latest movie based on his work, "The Adjustment Bureau," starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, might give us the first big screen Dickian love story – a tender romance hidden within a sci-fi candy shell.

"It's like a modern love story, but it's got an ominous sci-fi backdrop to it," Blunt told MTV News during a break in shooting on location in New York City. "It's going to be exciting and disconcerting and strange, which is what I like about [Dick's] work. It's very cool and clever. It's got a really tight script." Read more...

Every British movie star is required by law to take part in a period piece or costume drama at some point in her career. That's a fact – look it up, gentle readers. Emily Blunt understands this cinematic truth well. "You have to don the bonnet at some point, otherwise you're simply not a British actress," she declared to MTV News.

Luckily for us all, her entry in the genre is not some stuffy borefest – all corsets and nose-in-the-air snootiness – but an unsentimental exploration of a young woman's coming-of-age. The woman in question, it just so happens, is Victoria, the future Queen of England. Titled "The Young Victoria," the film opened in the UK in March and is set for a limited US release on December 18, before going wide a week later. (check out the trailer premiere above).

The story appeared more than 300 years ago, but it seems as if Jonathan Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels” was written with the specific idea that one day Jack Black might portray the title character. Lemuel Gulliver, after all, is a giant among the tiny Lilliputian people he encounters after a shipwreck, a man whose fish-out-water energy both meshes with and disrupts life for the native population.

Joining in the adventure -- which is part satire on the human condition, part fantastical travel epic, part absurdist comedy -- will be Emily Blunt. While promoting her newest film, “Sunshine Cleaning,” the British actress revealed fresh details about a “Gulliver’s” production that is still very much under wraps. Read more...

You’re either reading about her recently-released film or about prior commitments causing her to drop out of "Iron Man 2” for Gulliver’s Travels. It just seems like Emily Blunt is hot news even for movies she won’t be in. However, now comes news that the actress, along with Jonah Hill, will star alongside Russell Brand in the “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” follow-up, “Get Him To The Greek.”

According to Moviehole, Blunt will be playing a pop musician who “may duet” with the British comedian in the Judd Apatow-produced comedy. Read more...

It was on the set of a historical drama about the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan that Emily Blunt and Amy Adams struck up a friendship that would result in a dark-humored movie about two sisters who clean up after blood-soaked corpses for a living.

Welcome to the bizarre world of Hollywood, in which alliances are forged in the most peculiar of circumstances and give birth to projects that at first make you go, “Say what?” In the case of Blunt and Adams, their first encounter took place during the filming of “Charlie Wilson’s War”—Blunt played Tom Hanks’ lover, Adams his Congressional aide—and the outcome, several years later, is the oddball gem, “Sunshine Cleaning.”

“We have a weird inner dialogue that we sort of know what the other one’s thinking,” Blunt recently told MTV News. “It was like I’d known her forever. She still very much feels like my sister.” Read more...

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Earlier this month, it seemed Emily Blunt was poised to make the leap from critically adored actress to household name. Word was she’d been cast as Black Widow in the sequel to last year’s $580 million blockbuster comic book adaptation “Iron Man.” After her scene-stealing “Devil Wears Prada” role and a gripping turn in “Sunshine Cleaning ” (in theaters now), a major part in a big-budget tentpole movie seemed only appropriate.

As it turned out, Blunt indeed landed what could be her breakout role, except it won’t be alongside Marvel’s Tony Stark in "Iron Man 2," but rather with Jack Black in Fox’s “Gulliver’s Travels.” In a conversation with MTV News, Blunt spoke out about having to drop out of “Iron Man” because of a scheduling conflict with “Gulliver’s.”

"Sunshine Cleaning" came out of Sundance last year with a lot of buzz, and now the film is seeing limited release on March 13. The pic stars Emily Blunt and Amy Adams as sisters who -- in order to raise some cash -- start a business cleaning up crime scenes.

You can check out the "Sunshine Cleaning" trailer here, and watch our exclusive clip below. In the scene, Blunt relates a spooky story to her young son.

Jack Black has some friends to hang out with in Lilliput. Variety reports that Emily Blunt and Jason Segel have signed on for Rob Letterman's "Gulliver's Travels," a re-imagining of the Jonathan Swift classic.

Black will play Lemuel Gulliver, a travel writer who takes an assignment to the Bermuda Triangle and ends up washing ashore on the island of Lilliput, where he is a giant among the tiny population. Blunt will play a Lilliputian princess who falls for Black. Segel will play Horatio, a Lilliput native who quickly becomes Guilliver's best friend, and who helps him escape when he is captured.

FROM SPLASH PAGE: In terms of "Iron Man 2" casting rumors, this month has been as crazy as one of Tony Stark's comics-infamous benders! Between reports that Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell could have roles in "Iron Man 2", coupled with yesterday's news that Samuel L. Jackson might not return as Nick Fury, there's been no shortage of news to keep fans of ol' Shellhead glued to the interwebs waiting for the latest reports.

Variety has more casting rumors today, and it seems that those rumors a few weeks back about Black Widow joining in on the "Iron Man 2" action were true, as Emily Blunt is now rumored to be the front runner for the role.
