Ruffalo contracts 'Blindness'

'Zodiac' star Mark Ruffalo will play the lead in Fernando Meirelles next feature.

Jun  5 2007

Having eyed up the best that Hollywood has to offer, 'City of God' director Fernando Meirelles has set his sights on Mark Ruffalo for new film 'Blindness'.

Based on Jose Saramago's brilliant novel, Ruffalo will play a doctor suddenly struck blind while sitting in his car waiting for the traffic lights to change. A passer-by helps him home, but then he too loses his sight, and soon an epidemic breaks out that has the government reacting in the most extreme and totalitarian of ways.

'Blindness' is set to shoot this summer, with Julianne Moore playing the doctor's wife and Sao Paulo doubling for the book's unnamed city in an unspecified country.
