Mark Ruffalo makes me want to stab my eyes out! by PwnedByStallone	Jun 5th, 2007 01:17:45 PM
Worst. Actor. Ever!
kung fu hobbit by el-guappo	Jun 5th, 2007 01:18:38 PM
that hobbit was a kung fu fighting. in fact it was a little bit frightning... and now my shins are bruised.
This was not meant to be a movie by Spandau Belly	Jun 5th, 2007 01:19:02 PM
The whole style of writing is to avoid names, descriptions, to show that it could be happening anywhere in the world. They'll probably turn it into some post-apocalyptic hero story.
Mereilles is great, Ruffalo - not so much by Cedar_Room	Jun 5th, 2007 01:19:37 PM
but lets hope for the best. A filmmaker I genuinely look forward to seeing work from. Oh, and HURRAY I'm near the top of the talkback. This one is going to run into the thousands!!!!
maybe even the billions Cedar_Room! by just pillow talk	Jun 5th, 2007 01:35:06 PM
Or better yet, millions!
City of God = Masterpiece; Gardner = over-directed by odysseus	Jun 5th, 2007 01:41:34 PM
Hopefully this time Meirelles will tone down his herky-jerky camera/editing style. Ruffalo is a great actor; his performance in You Can Count on Me is just plain brilliant.
Is this the prequel to Blind Fury? by Nice Marmot	Jun 5th, 2007 01:47:32 PM
Come on, you know you want one.
good call by bobbo32	Jun 5th, 2007 01:50:24 PM
Ruffalo was also awesome in Zodiac. I would be worried about the source material getting bastardized if they brought in Paul WS Anderson or Brett Ratner to direct, but Meirelles should be able to handle the story tastefully.
The novel is a masterpiece by Sandinista	Jun 5th, 2007 01:54:56 PM
No wonder Saramago won the Nobel prize.
Mark Ruffalo is a cool guy by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 5th, 2007 02:10:11 PM
and highly underrated.
Scariest book ive read by legiondude	Jun 5th, 2007 02:23:25 PM
IF this film is properly done, it could very well be one of the creepiest pieces to ever grace the screen. The book is incredible, go get it read it. Imagine everyone on the planet being blind, but a white blindness... total chaos.
shooting in toronto by legiondude	Jun 5th, 2007 02:24:07 PM
its also shooting in TORONTO!
Ruffalo was good in Collateral by GrandMuffTarkin	Jun 5th, 2007 02:53:26 PM
Completely unrecognizable from his character in Eternal Sunshine. I was impressed.
Yeah, GrandMuffTarkin by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 5th, 2007 03:20:37 PM
Absolutely true. I also didn't recognize him at first. Nice work in Collateral.
i agree legion, this book gave me nightmares by occula	Jun 5th, 2007 03:21:44 PM
it was unquestionably one of the most impressive works of literature i've ever read. right up there with lord of the flies and animal farm for sheer brilliance of depicting the fear of mankind. i have high hopes for mierelles to do a beautiful job and i think we can rest assured that ruffalo and julianne moore can handle it as well.
terrifying book by PullMyFinger	Jun 5th, 2007 04:08:14 PM
a book hasn't made my heart race like this one did in a long, long time. i HIGHLY recommend reading it.
The Constant Gardener was good, grown up filmmaking... by dr_buggerlugs	Jun 5th, 2007 05:01:30 PM
...but City Of God is hands down one of the few truly great films of the decade and to be honest, he'll be hard pressed to match that again..
Dear Harry and AICN people by Jakes Nel	Jun 5th, 2007 05:38:17 PM
I would like to thank you for finally giving us, your loyal talkbackers, genuine cool NEWS, for a change. We've had nothing but Eli Roth talkbacks for days and days. So once again, thank you.
Constant Gardener punched the 'do not' into my 'care' by Womb2dooM	Jun 5th, 2007 06:03:26 PM
City of God was brilliant though.
Agreed... by Forsakyn	Jun 5th, 2007 06:16:28 PM
Constant Gardener was all right, but City of God was great.
Was that the worst AICN headline ever? by TheRealRatigan	Jun 5th, 2007 11:10:30 PM
...Methinks so. Good god, how did you even let yourself type that Quint, let alone post it. Your ambitions of somebody giving you the chance to be a real reporter someday just got a little further down the tunnel that is your pipe dream.
