Fernando Meirelles to direct ‘Blindess’
Posted on September 13, 2006 by Tito
Fernando Meirelles, who directed City of God, will begin production of the adaptation of Jose Saramago’s Blindess. Apparently it took a while to convince Saramago:
Fichman said in one of their early meetings with Saramago, the writer told him he believed cinema destroyed the imagination. “I paused for a second,” Fichman remembers, “and thought I agreed with him. When you read a book, your imagination can be endless. Cinema makes interpretation.
“But Saramago says he trusts us, that we will fight to preserve the integrity of his work. And we will.”
