This is one of the two featurettes on my library's DVD of The Adjustment Bureau. The other being Becoming Elise. Well, there's also Destined To Be, but that one isn't on IMDb as I type this. That one is 5 minutes, and goes into the subject of the sweet romance, the charming chance meeting, the wit of both characters, the relationship between the two actors. The running time is 7 and a half minutes. It's made up of interviews with some key cast and crew, film clips, pre-vis and behind-the-scenes footage.
It goes into actually using the city, with things said such as "it's another character" (Emily Blunt). "We don't want sparks flying when people go through doors: we want it to feel seamless". Of course they were going to travel through Yankee Stadium! And the Statue of Liberty! "A love letter to New York", Damon puts it. We see how they actually filmed some of the effects shots. Everyone has something to add. It's edited and paced well. You get a good sense of what it was like, and there's a lot of interesting information for the short duration.
I recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about the movie. 7/10
