I'm pleased to announce that Fernando Meirelles, Director of "City of God" and "The Constant Gardner" will be releasing his latest film "Blindness" this August."Blindness" starring Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo is the adaptation of the Nobel Prize of Literature winning book of the same title. The story follows a doctor's wife (Julianne Moore) who is the only person who can see in her city after a mysterious virus (called the white sickness) causes everyone else to go blind. And because of this blindness, society around her begins to crumble.
From the trailer it looks like "Children of Men" meets "28 Days Later," although many of Meirelles' trailers don't do his films justice. Either way, the film still looks very entertaining and I have the highest of hopes for its quality.
For those who haven't seen "Cidade de Deus" (a.k.a "City of God") it's time to make a trip to the video store. It is truly an amazing film and should wet your whistle for things to come later this year.
There isn't much else to say about the newest effort from Meirelles, but as always stay posted for more updates on "Blindness," and check out the trailer below.
