The Book of Eli - an upcoming Post Apocalyptic movie. - General

[B]The Book of Eli[/B] is to be released next week, in the UK anyway. I am surprised that there is not already a thread on it here on facepunch. Trailer: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlneJ7W7lAc[/media] This looks great. Very similar to the recently released [I]The Road[/I]. The plot summary: [B]A post-apocalyptic tale, in which a lone man fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind.[/B] A few screenshots: [img]http://www.collider.com/wp-content/image-base/Movies/B/Book_of_Eli_The/Movie_Images/The%20Book%20of%20Eli%20movie%20image%20Denzel%20Washington%20%281%29.jpg[/img] [img]http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image/article/987/987551/the-book-of-eli-20090528054321146_640w.jpg[/img] The official site: [url]http://thebookofeli.warnerbros.com/[/url]

Thanks for telling us again, Publius.

i saw the trailer on tv the other day. the trailer looks ok, and i like a few actors in the movie so i might see it.

I'm calling that the book's the bible. After watching the trailer, I was right. It still looks like a good movie, I but the ending "believe" makes it look like it's going to get preachy.

I want to see it. It has a god among men, Gary Oldman in it, and Denzel Washington is pretty badass most of the time too. I've never gotten over Man on Fire(I think that's the movie, memory fails right now).

I'll watch it seems interesting.

hE JUST Alooks like a crazy hobo

I have a feeling some guy is going to post a picture of Eli Vance in here thinking he's funny.

Aw man, it wont be on any cinemas in Sweden for atleast half a year :frown:

Guarantee theres going to be a game about it eventually.

I've seen the commercial and I'm already half-way arsed into watching it. Mostly because I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic shit. No matter how gimmicky or terrible it looks. I'm not much of a movie person, I only watch about three a year, and I frequently think shitty movies are good, but this does look rather promising to me.

The Bible? Looks like its spilling Christian bullshit. Looks good none the less.

I'm gonna try to get a free ticket to this because my name is Eli. We'll see I guess.

Gonna see it, Denzel Washington is awesome.

Book of Eli.. [b]Eli Vance?![/b] Hehe, he's also black.

What I would like to ask is how humanity plunged itself into an apocalypse with this film.

[QUOTE=Aurora93;19418458]What I would like to ask is how humanity plunged itself into an apocalypse with this film.[/QUOTE] Watch the movie?

Looks dreadful.

I'm going to see it; I love post-apocalyptic movies :v: All of a sudden there are so many badass post-apocalyptic movies coming out. Children of Men, The Road, now this! :dance:

What? Children of Men has came out long time ago. And it wasn't really badass.

Spoilerz Snape kills Dumbledore

It doesn't look that good. Might be a coo' popcorn flick, though.

[QUOTE=Aurora93;19418458]What I would like to ask is how humanity plunged itself into an apocalypse with this film.[/QUOTE] It was nuclear war... I think. One of the commercials has him saying that "the war tore a hole in the sky", which explains why everyone is wearing goggles/sunglasses.

Looks good...I'm a little iffy about the bible...I have no problem with Christians, but I just dont think I can watch a movie all about saving humans with it...

What the book actually is hasn't been announced and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Whitta]the guy who wrote the script[/url] isn't some crazy Christian.

That Eli fellow reminds me of Blade. I should hire him to get rid of our problem in Forks, Washington.

Gary Oldman is a badass. Seeing it just because of him. When he plays a villain he is truly evil.
