I have not based the book on which this film is based so all I have is the talent and the trailer for this one. And inspite of the frosty reception at Cannes I am really excited about Blindness.
Just watch the trailer and you'll be mesmerised by the beauty in the cinematography.

Trailer - Blindness
Tuesday, 15 July 2008
Coming Soon (Definitely - Cannes edition)
I've been looking at Box Office Mojo again, and there's a few new scheduled opening dates that I that you may like to share.
Blindness
A UK opening date of 14 November has been announced. Despite the lukewarm reaction at Cannes I'm still quite keen on seeing Meirelles' latest opus, the trailers have indicated a dreamy quality in the cinematography very different from the tone of the book and this should be a good enough reason to rush to see it.
What Just Happened
Actully this looks a bit rubbish - like a poor man's The Player - however I'm willing to give this fading Hollywood producer tale a try if only because Barry Levinson and Robert De Niro have both gone 10 years without a decent film and maybe their Wag the Dog reunion may be something interesting.
Like Blindness and What Just Happened this slice of life drama also debuted at Cannes, with significantly better press and the best actress award for Sandra Corveloni. The plot - four boys from the slums try to improve their lives in different ways - may be as old as time, but I'm hoping for a fantastic work from Walter Salles and Daniela Thomas.
The Argentine/Guerilla
We in the UK now have relaease dates for Steven Soderbergh love letters to Che Guevara 02 January and 20 February respectively. Benicio Del Toro won the best actor award at Cannes for the combined "Che" and it will certainly be interesting to see these films. Perhaps most interesting about these dates is whilst Optimum has announced them for here there is still no distributer for the US market in any form. You would have thought this was a guaranteed best actor oscar nomination - biopic, well liked star, he dies at the end - however if Focus Features don't pull their fingure out and organise a relaease strategy it could end up being a wasted opportunity.

Coming Soon (Maybe)
Now, I know this is a lot later than usual, but I've had an extemely busy day. More on that later... Edwin A. Salt
It's been a while since the last coming soon, so what's new:
The Debt 
Has moved one stage closer to production with John Madden now set to direct. It's a remake of the Isreali film Ha-Hov concerning a retired Mossad agent who has has to rectify a mistake and cover up from the 60s. Nothing like You don't Mess with the Zohan, apparantly.
Blindness
Some new posters have appeared, including this gorgeous one of stunner Gael Garcia Bernal.
The helm has passed to Philip Noyce, Peter Berg having moved on to other things. This seems to be a more real version of Minority Report, so naturally Ton Cruise has been mentioned alongside it for some time. This is really just an excuse for a link to the Tom Cruise 25 years official website.
