Full Circle for Meirelles and Rachel Weisz with 360
When we consider that classic films such as Max Ophuls' La Ronde, and Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut were both based on Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler’s 1900 play Reigen, then my thoughts on Fernando Meirelles taking on 360 and fitting and re-teaming with Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener duo) are...milk this for all its worth.

Pic will be released in 2011 - my guess is another festival release to help promote the rom dramedy in other territories, and then they'll have to strategically place the film during a mid year release -- perhaps the same date as The Kids Are All Right.
