Bernal, Glover & Braga to suffer Blindness

gaelgarciabernal_300.jpgFernando Meirelles' third feature film Blindness is starting to come together now after the brief trouble in having to replace the previously cast Daniel Craig who pulled out likely because of scheduleing difficulties. We already know that Mark Ruffalo leads the film as the doctor who loses his sight along with everyone else in the town, except his wife played by Julianne Moore. The news from The Hollywood Reporter today is of further casting for the flick...
Gael Garcia Bernal who was superb in The Science of Sleep and The Motorcycle Diaries has been cast as The King of Ward 3. Alice Braga who appeared in Meirelles' debut movie City of God shall play "the girl with the dark glasses". And finally, Danny "I'm too old for this Shit!" Glover will narrate the story. Shooting is set to begin next month in the locations of Brazil, Sao Paulo and Toronto. Is this film going to be the next Children of Men? A movie that depicts the whole breakdown of a society when it becomes under threat to an epidemic it can't handle?
