Jose Saramago’s incredible, disturbing novel “Blindness” is being made into a movie by Brazilian phenom Fernando Meirelles, the director of “City of God“

I’ve always thought Blindness would make a great movie. I’m just disappointed to have to wait until October 3rd to see it. The one thing that gives me pause is the apparent inclusion of Sandra Oh as some kind of Health Minister or other authority figure. I guess maybe people are used to thinking of her as a medical expert after several seasons of Gray’s Anatomy, but it still seems like a massive leap.
