Fernando Meirelles the director of the awesome City of God and the less awesome The Constant Gardner (i didn't like it anyway) is returning to Brazil to helm the feature Blindness. The movie will be an english-language adaptation of the portugese novel of the same name and will begin shooting next summer on a budget of $25 million. Plot info of the book from Wikipedia.... "The novel concerns a plague of white blindness which strikes a man sitting in traffic and soon begins to spread across the country. As the blind are quarantined and infrastructure begins to break down, the story follows a doctor's wife, the only person free of the blindess which afflicts all others". I hated what Meirelles did with The Constant Gardner. I thought he took a good story and made a really bad movie by going for a "realisitc documentary shaky camera style" which only succeeded in making me feel sick. Although I did really like City of God. It was kind of like a brazilian version of Goodfellas. But please Feranando, don't use that shaky camera again or I may need to bring a bucket to the cinema. source - variety, coming soon, wikipeida
