New poster for THE BOOK OF ELI
A new poster has been released for the post-apocalyptic action film THE BOOK OF ELI. The film is directed by the Hughs Brothers, known for such films as DEAD PRESIDENTS and FROM HELL, and stars Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Michael Gambon, Mila Kunis, and Ray Stevenson.
I can’t say that this film is entirely my cup of tea, but overall the cast is quite impressive and I especially love Gary Oldman, so I suppose I am mildly interested to see this future-so-bleak-we-have-to-wear-shades film, if only to see Oldman in the role of Carnegie who is supposed to be a “bad guy” character.
The poster shows a bearded Washington looking very cool and ready to kick some post-apocalyptic ass. I’m not sure why they didn’t go for a more striking image to spark more interest in the action of the film. I do like the aesthetic of the poster though as it has a muted tone but still manages to look really crisp. Check out the full poster after the jump.
THE BOOK OF ELI arrives in theaters on January 15, 2010.
