There's a new trailer out for The Book of Eli. The film is directed by the Hughes brothers and stars Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Mila Kunis, Ray Stevenson, Jennifer Beals and Evan Jones. It looks very Fallout. Here's the basics from <a href="http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienew ... et</a>:
[The story] revolves around a lone warrior (Washington) who must fight to bring society the knowledge that could be the key to its redemption. Oldman has been set to portray the despot of a small makeshift town who's determined to take possession of the book Eli's guarding.

all 15-year olds have a boner yet?

Whether it's Denzel doing machete combos
or "Aragorn cockslapping hillbillies"
the focus on 'awesomeness' seems a tad too much for me.

It's the grenade toss / orchestra track that are throwing me off.

It's just your (less than an) average action flick set in post-apocalyptic enviroment

But is has Gary Oldman!

yeah Oldman, a shame.
Also the postapo setting is quite pwetty, what a waste.
By the look of it the film needs to earn a nice sum of money to get the cost back so no wonder they appeal to mainstream fucking audience.

My feelings exactly.

Incorrect: we've made up our minds concerning the trailer. It just happens to be so that oftenmost trailers reflect the movie as a whole, thus conclusions can be drawn up to some extent.

So... where's Liam Neeson?

I just hope my favorite genre won't be ruined by Hollywood and other mainstream media outlets.

I remain impartial to this movie until I see it.

I like how even in the Post Apoc world the black walk exists. Don't the Hughs brothers generally make kind of shit movies? I saw From Hell awhile ago and it was pretty shitty and the rest of their movies seem to be focused on black power.
