We have news today of a new post-apocalyptic film that will star Denzel Washington! Thanks to our friends at the movieweb for the following hookup!
Denzel Washington will star in the futuristic drama The Book of Eli for directing team Allen and Albert Hughes.
The post-apocalyptic drama is based on a story by Gary Whitta, and scripted by Anthony Peckham, and focuses on the not-so-distant future where America is a wasteland and a lone warrior (Washington) fights to bring society the knowledge that is key to its redemption. Filming starts in January in New Mexico
Denzel + Post Apocalyptic + New Mexico = The news of the day my friends.
The post apocalyptic genre is outstanding and I’m glad to see Denzel join the fold. Perhaps the reining hollywood enthusiast Kevin Costner will join him for yet another outing into the apocalyptic future. Having driven through New Mexico, I can attest to its perfection for this sort of film. The desert is where these sorts of films need to be. You need a bleak landscape to visually compliment the story.
I am very interested in watching how this develops and am tickled that we may have a big budget apocalyptic sensation on our hands! Denzel, work your magic my friend.
