Gael Garcia Bernal (Babel, The King), Danny Glover, and Alice Braga (City of God) are set to join Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo in Fernando Meirelles' apocalyptic drama Blindness. The story is based on Jose Saramago's novel about an epidemic of blindness that sweeps through a contemporary city and pushes society to the brink of breakdown. Bernal will play the King of Ward 3, and Glover will narrate the story. Braga will portray the girl with the dark glasses, whatever that means.

Meirelles is probably the best "new" director working today. City of God and The Constant Gardner are both some of the best movies over the past few years so I have all the hope in the world for this new movie.
