On the set of The Book of Eli

Entertainment Tonight, which has lately become relevant to me again, has an on the set look at The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington. The film is set in an apocalyptic future where only small pockets of human survivors remain years after the sun apparently exploded. The film also stars Jennifer Beals(Flashdance, The L Word), Mila Kunis(a favorite here), and Gary Oldman. Directed by The Hughes Brothers(Menace II Society), the film marks their first major big screen effort since 2001's From Hell.

I've heard precious little about this, but consider my curiosity piqued. I can scarcely think of a better combination than Washington, Oldman, and the Hughes Brothers. I've been waiting for them to do another film for eight years now, after the disaster that was From Hell. Still, after Menace II Society and Dead Presidents, I've always looked upon them as arguably the best African-American directors in the industry, and respected their desire to branch out into other types of films. The Book of Eli looks like it will further establish them as true directors of cinema, and not just directors who only look to make one type of film.

Anyway, check out the preview below...
