We sure love our post apocalyptic genre projects around here. From “Mad Max“ to “Fallout,” from “See” to “Defiance“- we’ve watched it and/or are excited to watch it. Which brings us to some news from this past week regarding post apoc flick, “The Book of Eli.”
Alcon Entertainment is currently shopping around a tv series based on the film. John Boyega is set to star as the titular Eli, who was played in the film by Denzel Washington. This prequel would apparently take place roughly 30 years before the film, which would theoretically put it right in the era of the nuclear event.
The most exciting part of this project is Gary Whitta, who wrote the original film as well as a little flick called “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” is on board. Whitta will reportedly serve as writer, and will executive produce along with “Eli” directors Albert Hughes and Allen Hughes.
Boyega starred in 2023’s “They Cloned Tyrone” for Netflix, and is currently working on “Attack The Block 2.”
We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other projects.
