I saw a preview before some or other movie. Actually, I saw it before two different movies, even though I can't remember which movies they were. The preview was about a blindness plague of some sort. But I don't remember the movie ever being released.

Do any of you know what movie this is/was?

It's called Blindness. It was released a year ago.
Why would it not have been released?
quote:
A city is ravaged by an epidemic of instant "white blindness". Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created "society of the blind" quickly breaks down. Criminals and the physically powerful prey upon the weak, hording the meager food rations and committing horrific acts. There is however one eyewitness to the nightmare. A woman whose sight is unaffected by the plague follows her afflicted husband to quarantine. There, keeping her sight a secret, she guides seven strangers who have become, in essence, a family. She leads them out of quarantine and onto the ravaged streets of the city, which has seen all vestiges of civilization crumble.

Thanks. I don't know... I never saw it released. I was kind of watching for it, because it looked interesting.

Sounds a lot like "The Day of the Triffids" without the man-eating plants. [Smile]

It was good, but to my mind, a little disjointed. Defintley a darker film so if you're not into that kind of thing ... you've been warned.
