The Book Of Eli, the Denzel Washington-starring post-apocalyptic movie, looks moody, lonesome and filled with rocket-launchers and samurai sword-fights, in its first official trailer. Denzel's honeyed voice, over scenes of desolation and mayhem... it's like I Am Legend done right. More »

Well, despite having more God Machines than the Pope's Garage and more loose ends than a Caprican Strip-club "YEEEEAAAHH!" I was pleased. So say we all? LAUNCH ALL DISASTERS!

Finally, a decent look at the rough-and-tumble post-apocalyptic action movie The Book Of Eli, starring a very dissheveled-looking Denzel Washington and his magical book. More »
]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5161318&view=rss&microfeed=true Jennifer Beals is joining the cast of the post apocalyptic thriller The Book Of Eli. Famous for her roles in Flashdance and as the sex addicted Bette Porter in The L Word, Beals should be able to keep up with heavy hitters Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman on set — at least we're hoping so, because I'd hate to get in that acting crossfire. Beals will be playing —I kid you not — "Oldman's sexual prize and [Mila] Kunis' mother, a blind woman doing anything she can to protect her child." Fantastic. [The Hollywood Reporter] More »

Some new casting calls have come out for The Book Of Eli, the post-apocalyptic film starring Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman. And they hint at some plot snippets that make this movie sound just as violent and demented as you'd expect from the directors of Menace II Society and From Hell. More »

A piece of concept art/poster from the Hughes brothers' post-apocalyptic Western The Book Of Eli has hit the net. It's our first taste of the film, starring Hollywood hot shots Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman, where only the power of knowledge from the sacred book (held by Denzel) can save the masses, and Oldman wants nothing more than to get his greasy hands on those tattered pages. Check out the full poster below. More »

After civilization crumbles and almost all knowledge has been lost, at least people will retain the secrets of method acting, thanks to Gary Oldman. He's playing Denzel Washington's nemesis in the post-apocalyptic movie The Book Of Eli. In the film, Washington plays a warrior who traverses the globe after a terrible cataclysm and saves everyone with knowledge — and Oldman wants to take away his precious book of wisdom. More »

Working the whole knowledge-is-power angle, Denzel Washington is going to star as the man who saves a post apocalyptic world — with education — in Book of Eli. Washington travels the world fighting and teaching from the sacred book. Strange that a movie about a destroyed civilization and a man fighting to save the world still sounds like every other teacher/coach movie Washington has made. More »

Welcome to Drunken Pitch Master, where Meredith consumes many fruity drinks, and scrawls her latest Hollywood blockbuster ideas on cocktail napkins — then later carefully transcribes them into blog posts. This week's pitch: Finding Glory, the time-traveling scifi prequel to the Academy Award winning movie Glory. Starring Julia Roberts as the time traveler, Denzel Washington as a cyborg, and Matthew Broderick as, well, another cyborg. Here's the idea: basically it's the Civil War with cyborg soldiers, plus scenes where Roberts goes bottomless for the first time on film! Here's my pitch . . . More »

A lonely nerd can't tell the difference between a psychopathic Russell Crowe and a chess-playing sex-bot, and that spells death for dozens of innocent people (including the sex-bot, who secretly longs to be murdered). There's probably a lesson in this clip — the most freaktastic scene from 1995's Virtuosity — but I'm not sure what it is. Maybe clues to its deeper meaning lurk in the way the VR programmer keeps talking about Clyde's "tumescence" while the weird computer voice calls out chess moves? Click through to watch another freaky Virtuosity moment. More »

Milla Jovovich's weird strappy leotard and crazy talk beguile Bruce Willis into helping her jet away from the cops in his flying taxi. He swerves through CGI tunnels at a breakneck pace.
