Fernando Meirelles, director of City of God and The Constant Gardener, now brings us Blindness.
This looks great! Blindness has a really cool and creepy premise and it is drawing a lot of comparison to The Happening which I have still yet to see. I hadn’t heard anything about this movie before today, and I’m not sure how this one got past me. I’m a big fan of both Mark Ruffalo and Julianne Moore and with Danny Glover and Gael Garcia Bernal involved as well, I can’t wait.

The international trailer for the new M. Night Shyamalan’s new apocolyptic thriller, entitled The Happening has been released. It stars Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel and it set to come out sometime in June. I like the new trailer a lot more than the one that was leaked a while ago, as it actually gives you some real insight into the storyline of the film. The leaked trailer was still cool, but it really didn’t give you a look at any of the characters. You can still see it here.
Honestly, I could not fucking (excuse my profanity, but I feel that it is necessary) stand Lady In The Water. I thought the whole thing was absolutely awful. That film aside, however, I think Shyamalan is a great filmmaker. A lot of people love to rip on his movies, but he has consistently kept me entertained over the years and this film looks just as promising as the rest. I’m willing to put his last let down aside and give this one a chance. Also, Zooey Deschanel is in it. Also, Mark Wahlberg is cool. But mostly, Zooey Deschanel is in it.
Watch the trailer here!
