relias33 0 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Can't wait to see this...... I also just found out that Denzel Washington was trained in martial arts by Dan Inosanto. For those of you who don't know who he is, he's Bruce Lee's best friend and protoge. I bring this up because my brother teaches martial arts and Dan Inosanto is one of my brother's teachers. Inosanto particularly teaches Kali and has the Kali academy of martial arts in Marina Del Rey, not far from you Bradstreet.... I too train in Kali. In Lehman's terms....it's Filipino street fighting. Sicks, edged weapons, etc. I love doing it. I works well for me being a bouncer in a nightclub. I can't wait to see what Denzel is gonna do while I hear Ross' score. -Raffi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SonOfTheDark 0 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks for posting the one-sheet, Gary! It looks nice, but nothing special. I would like to see a more evocative motive, using the post-apocalyptic landscape and showing more of Denzel. The title font is quite cool though and it has the right mood. Looking forward to more posters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwhitta 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Dark theater lobby and crappy iPhone camera do not make for a great shot, but who cares? Spotting an Eli poster in the wild for the first time was a big thrill for me so had to share :woohoo: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brianmcquery 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 The new trailer is great. I saw it in front of NINJA ASSASSIN and the ELI trailer was more entertaining than anything in NINJA ASSASSIN. Can't wait to get my Gary Oldman fix in January. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gwhitta 0 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 For those interested in the soundtrack, it will be out on Jan 12 on Reprise Records. There will also be a special edition on iTunes including remixed tracks, and a double vinyl album too! Damn, I gotta buy a turntable! REPRISE RECORDS TO RELEASE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK TO FEATURE FILM THE BOOK OF ELI ON JANUARY 12th, 2010 Soundtrack to Post-Apocalyptic Drama Features Original Score by Nine Inch Nails Collaborator Atticus Ross Burbank, CA – Reprise Records will release the original motion picture soundtrack to the Hughes Brothers-directed feature film The Book Of Eli on January 12th, 2010 — three days before the film hits theaters nationwide on January 15th, 2010. The Book of Eli Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features an original score by composer/musician/producer Atticus Ross, marking his third collaboration with the Hughes Brothers and his first feature film score. Ross’ music is a unique hybrid score of electronic and organic elements; writing with his wife (Claudia Sarne) and brother (Leopold Ross), the basic tracks were recorded at his studio in Los Angeles before departing to London where it was finished in Abbey Road Studios with a full 80 piece orchestra. Ross’ other film credits include co-writing and producing “Go All the Way (Into the Twilight),” the Perry Ferrell single for the hit film Twilight, the score for the Allen Hughes’ vignette for the film New York, I Love You, as well as the music to the Hughes Brothers TV show 'Touching Evil." Ross has also incorporated his musical style into collaborations and productions of such major artists as NIN (the albums With Teeth, Year Zero, The Slip, and the Grammy-nominated Ghosts), Jane's Addiction, and Korn. The Book of Eli stars Denzel Washington, Mila Kunis, and Gary Oldman in a post-apocalyptic tale in which a lone man, Eli (Washington), fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind. The soundtrack will be released in four configurations: standard CD, a digital version available through all digital service providers, and a special exclusive iTunes edition that will feature a remixed track by Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio). A vinyl version will be released in February. The Book of Eli is being distributed domestically by Warner Bros. Pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwhitta 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Three new character posters just debuted online, you should be seeing these banners in theater lobbies and elsewhere soon. Also, Alex at firstshowing.net has posted the first hint of a review to appear online: Anyway, I'm featuring them not necessarily because they look amazing or anything (though they do look cool), but rather because I've seen The Book of Eli and I wanted to sneak in my thoughts on it. I absolutely loved the movie, it was completely freakin' awesome. The visuals were stunning and the story was fantastic, too. I can't say enough good things about it, I really had a blast watching it. And with that, check out the banners below! http://www.firstshowing.net/2009/12/09/che...he-book-of-eli/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gwhitta 0 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 My girlfriend has been teaching me about trending topics on Twitter so I can deploy its awesome 140-character power in service of shameless self-promotion. So if anyone is twittering about the movie, the official trending topic is #thebookofeli Quote Link to post Share on other sites
