Denzel Washington teams with sibling filmmakers Albert and Allen Hughes (“Menace II Society”) to put twists on the premise of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world in this moody drama.

Washington plays the title character, a loner who possesses a book holding the keys to the continuation of mankind … and guarding the tome in a time of rampant unrest proves quite a challenge. Gary Oldman plays the main nemesis in a cast that also includes Mila Kunis, Ray Stevenson and Jennifer Beals (“Flashdance”). DVD extras: “making-of” documentary; deleted scenes.

Some exciting news today! The Book of Eli has according to this article at Hitfix beat Avatar on the box-office on it’s premiere day January 15. Read more below!

Knocking “Avatar” off its box office perch is no easy task, but Denzel Washington’s “The Book of Eli” accomplished that feat on Friday.

The post-apocalyptic thriller gave Washington his second best opening Friday after “American Gangster” with a strong $11.7 million. That’s pretty impressive considering “Eli’s” R-rating and the competition from “Avatar.” The Hughes Brothers’ latest looks like it will do anywhere from $40-45 million for the four-day Martin Luther King Day weekend which means recouping its reported $80 million budget should be an easy task. In fact, “Eli’s” expected success along with “The Blind Side’s” massive box office take makes longtime background player Alcon Entertainment the industry’s brightest star at the moment (someone might need a raise over there).

As for “Avatar,” don’t cry for Jim Cameron’s epic blockbuster. The PG-13 picture still made $10.4 million on Friday and could still make a comeback opposite “Eli” when all is said and done. The Oscar contender’s current domestic take is a staggering $460.9 million as it sets “Titanic’s” record $600 million tally within its sights.

Mila’s latest project, The Book of Eli opens in theaters today and I’m super excited to finally see it. Please don’t hesitate to let us know what you thought of it if you’ve seen the movie.

AZ Central got the chance to have a Q&A session with Mila about The Book of Eli and it has now been posted online.

Even fans of “That ’70s Show” probably wouldn’t have picked Mila Kunis as the cast member with the brightest film career in front of her.
It just might turn out that way, however. In the past couple of years, she has had substantial roles in “Max Payne,” “Extract” and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” She now stars alongside Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman
in “The Book of Eli.”
Kunis spoke recently about her “Eli” role as Solara, about her career and about the price of too much exposure.
