Denzel Washington will star in the futuristic drama The Book of Eli for directing team Allen and Albert Hughes.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros.-based shingle Alcon Entertainment is financing the project and will co-produce with Silver Pictures.

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.

This should be good. Denzel is a great actor and has never let fans down before.

Sounds like it MIGHT be interesting, but you never know. I agree with Vis. though. If we wanted to know how our country is declining, we've asked. Stop making movies about it already.

hmmm...interesting

I love how they say "not-so-distant future" like they're trying to insinuate america's goin down the crapper...newsflash hollywood, we KNOW it is, so unless ur future movies involve an earth ruled by aliens or robots or both, stop reminding us that our country is starting to suck

The Book of Eli? Excuse me but haven't we heard this one? Er seen this one? FREEDOM DEEP! With a new Final Directors Version about to be released and the original having screened throughout on TV and DVD what is the point? Denzel Washington? (the new Charles Bronson of mono facial expressions and reactions). The 2 directors of From Hell? What the hell? it took 2 directors to make that? Please FREEDOM DEEP is a film from the heart not the wallet! (see www.quietearth.us www.imdb.com www.freedomdeep.com www.amazon.com etc
