Earlier this month, Miramax Films released the movie trailer for the upcoming thriller ‘Blindness’ from the brilliant director Fernando Meirelles (City of God and The Constant Gardener) and starring Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Danny Glover, and Alice Braga. Based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago, ‘Blindness’ is an apocalyptic fable about a plague of blindness ravaging first one man, then a city, then the entire globe, with devastating fury and speed.
The “Doctor’s Wife” (Moore) becomes the only person with the ability to see in a world where everyone is struck with a mysterious case of sudden blindness, the “White Sickness.” When all the victims are rounded up and quarantined at a crumbling, insane asylum, she pretends to be blind in order to take care of her husband, “The Doctor” (Ruffalo). Amongst chaos and fear, the “Doctor’s Wife” is the only one left to lead the blind back from the brink of destruction. ‘Blindness’ is scheduled for a late September release.
