Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles has signed on to direct Blindness

Oscar-nominated director Fernando Meirelles has signed on to direct an ambitious film based on Nobel Prize-winner Jose Saramago's novel Blindness. And he's partnering with two of Canada's most avant-garde and prodigious cinematic talents, Don McKellar and Rhombus Media's Niv Fichman.

The film, based on the 1995 novel by the renowned Portuguese writer that remorselessly rubs readers' faces in the apocalypse, will have a budget north of $25-million (U.S.) and is slated to begin production this summer.
