Moving the project in steady progress, filmmakers of "Blindness" have added three more stars to take part in the apocalyptic drama, placing the names of Gael Garcia Bernal, Danny Glover, and Alice Braga in the cast lineup.
Joining Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo, Bernal will portray King of Ward 3 while Glover and Braga are set to be the narrator and girl with the dark glasses, respectively. Story is adapted from the Jose Saramago novel about an epidemic of blindness that sweeps through a contemporary city and pushes its citizens to the brink of breakdown.
