Brand New Looks at 'Che', 'Blindness' and 'Synecdoche, New York'

A trio of Cannes prospects

BY: Brad Brevet | May 9th 2008 at 12:10 PM

RopeofSilicon just received a few first look images at Steven Soderbergh's 4 hour and 28 minute epic Che, Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut Synecdoche, New York and Blindness, Fernando Meirelles's follow-up to The Constant Gardener.

All three will be prominently featured at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival in the competition. Click on any of the pics below to check out the full gallery. Each gallery will open in a new window that you can close to return to this article.

CHE
Begins as Che and a band of Cuban exiles (led by Fidel Castro) reach the Cuban shore from Mexico in 1956. Within two years, they mobilized popular support and an army and toppled the U.S.-friendly regime of dictator Fulgencio Batista.

SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK
Caden is a theater director who thinks he’s dying, and ambitiously attempts to put on a play by creating a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse. Stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Michelle Williams, Samantha Morton, Tilda Swinton and Hope Davis.

BLINDNESS
An adaptation of the Jose Saramago novel about an outbreak of blindness that sweeps an unidentified town. Ruffalo will play a doctor who loses his sight along with everyone else in town, except the doc's wife.
