Anthony Mackie interview
Anthony Mackie adds to his growing list of top-notch performances as a member of the Adjustment Bureau in George Nolfi’s romantic mystery-thriller ‘The Adjustment Bureau,’ further establishing himself as one of the finest young talents working in film today.
The film follows Matt Damon as a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he’s ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York. On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris Damon meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas Emily Blunt-a woman like none he’s ever known. But just as he realizes he’s falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart, the agents of Fate itself, the Adjustment Bureau, who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path…or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her.
Can you describe your character Harry?
Anthony Mackie: Harry is a very thoughtful, creative individual, he’s the junior member on the Adjustment Bureau, and he’s just trying to make a name for himself with the first case he’s been given from beginning to end in Matt Damon’s character.
How does the Bureau work?
Anthony Mackie: Basically we are just watchers of fait. We don’t initiate or make anything happen, but we are the guys who sit back and nudge you in the right direction. When we see you going off plain or going off path we sort of steer you back on path to the right way, we help you on your path to what you’re fated to become.
There’s great chemistry with all the actors.
Anthony Mackie: It’s funny watching the movie because Matt’s such a great guy and Emily is really just so sweet and nice that everybody on set became really good friends, I think when you look at Slattery and Stamp it’s like we had so much fun making this movie, being in New York and hanging out and chilling, the weather was ok, everyone really enjoyed being around each other, so you see that chemistry and camaraderie with every person in the movie between each other.
