Last week I posted a really sweet promo poster by Tommy Lee Edwards for The Book of Eli, a post-apocalyptic film starring Denzel Washington and directed by the Hughes Brothers (Menace II Society, Dead Presidents, From Hell).
We’ve seen images from the film before, but now we get a decent look at the Mila Kunis (Solara) and Gary Oldman (Carnegie) characters as well. I dig the Hughes Brothers, though they may have very much been a product of time concerning the generation they were speaking to at a certain age–we’ll see! When I was younger everybody was down with Menace II Society and Dead Presidents.
The Book of Eli is described as:
“The Book of Eli” tells the story of a lone warrior named Eli whose destiny is to save humanity. He guards a mysterious book which provides knowledge that could redeem society. Making his way across the desolate wasteland of near-future America, he faces challenge as the despot of a small makeshift town is determined to take possession of the book.
Joining Washington, Kunis and Oldman are Ray Stevenson, Michael Gambon and Jennifer Beals. The film is expected to be released in the U.S. on January 15th 2010. Make sure you check out the featurette on the movie released earlier this year as well.
