Toronto-based Rhombus Media has sent François Girard’s latest feature film, Silk, into post-production in Montreal, with plans to have a final cut ready by March.

CG work on the $26-million prestige project is now underway at ExCentris, under supervisor Stéphane Landry (Charlie Jade), while digital intermediaries wrap up at Vision Globale, according to post supervisor Georges Jardon.

Meanwhile, Claude Beaugrand (Maurice Richard) and Hans Peter Strobl (Un dimanche à Kigali) are doing the sound at Studio Marko.

Silk stars Michael Pitt and Keira Knightley and shot earlier this year in Japan, Rome, Russia and Egypt. It is based on the novel by Alessandro Baricco, about the extramarital affair of a 19th century smuggler.

The project winds down just as a second is taking shape. Rhombus recently revealed it plans to shoot Blindness, a US$25-million copro, next year in Toronto and Sao Paulo. The script comes from the book by reclusive Nobel Prize-winner José Saramago, and will be directed by Fernando Meirelles (The Constant Gardener).

Rhombus regular Don McKellar (Childstar) will star. The company will make Blindness with Potboiler Productions of the U.K., Bee Line Pictures of Japan and Brazil’s O2 Filmes.
