He is not the typical celebrity of whom everyone knows his name and private life. But seeing him, I remember him as a versatile actor, the kind that any role suits him to show off. I speak of Mark Ruffalo, who will now be the star of the new film by Brazilian Fernando Meirelles, 'Essay on Blindness', an adaptation of the successful novel by Portuguese José Saramago.
Ruffalo here will be in charge of the role of a doctor who, like the rest of the inhabitants of a city - with the exception of a woman, a role that the beautiful Julianne Moore will play - are completely blind. The filming will take place from the European summer in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Undoubtedly, the final result of such a peculiar book by Saramago as well as the decision that Rufallo (now on the bill with 'Zodiac') occupy the central role causes great expectation. Meirelles, acclaimed in the world for 'City of God', was dedicated to the production of films in his country, where he has just release 'Nao por acasso'. Now this project brings it back to the forefront of the industry.
