As a lone man in a desolate world, Denzel Washington carries the future of humanity on his shoulders: The Book of Eli trailer.
(Excerpt) Read more at movies.yahoo.com ...
what kind of movie is it? what is it about?
In a post-apocalyptic world, a lone hero, Eli (Denzel Washington), guards the Book of Eli, which provides knowledge that could redeem society. The despot (Gary Oldman) of a small, makeshift town plans to take possession of the book.
judging from the trailer alone, it looks to be a decent flick.
If it’s being release in Jan, that means it’s probably horrible, and a write-off for the studio. They release the best movies in Dec for Oscar consideration & to take advantage of the holidays.
okay. I’ll keep an eye open..
Oh, no...don’t crush my hope that it might actually be decent.
damnation alley is a great flick! that said, the 70’s version DOES need some cgi updates. (there are a lot of 70’s apocalyptic flicks that could be improved with a little cgi imho!) earthquake, towering inferno, the mechanic, etc., etc.,
gary oldman stars in the flick, and he is a known, if not quiet, conservative. fyi...?
I was just watching Dark Knight this afternoon and he was perfect as Commish Gordon. Yes, the rumor started to get out that he was a conservative right after he questioned his role in The Contender.
oldman, like many before him, will not be recognized by hollyweird, because he is a conservative, even though he is a great actor. (imho)
“the rumor started to get out that he was a conservative...”
FWIW, he’s on this list as a conservative:

It’s not worth much. About 1/3 of the people on that list are NOT conservatives. I believe GO is a self-described right leaning libertarian.
OK.
I’ll have to try and remember it when its released
Will Obama play the part of Denzel Washington in the sequel?
