Portuguese director-producer Leonel Vieira, the filmmaker behind Portuguese box office hit “The Courtyard of the Ballads” (“O Pátio das Cantigas”), is moving ahead with “The Night” (“A Noite”), a José Saramago adaptation set on the night the Carnation Revolution reached a Lisbon newsroom.

The film stars Nuno Lopes, known internationally for Netflix’s “White Lines,” Adriano Luz, seen in Bille August’s “Night Train to Lisbon,” and Spain’s Enrique Arce, widely recognized for Netflix global hit “Money Heist.” Vieira previously worked with Arce on his 2008 feature “The Art of Stealing.”
