The Book of Eli
« on: October 05, 2009, 05:11:25 AM »
I just saw the trailer for this online for the first time. It looks like a post apocalyptic action film. Kind of reminds me of the latest Fallout game.  ;D It stars Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman. I am pretty excited to see Washington and Oldman go head to head.  :thumbup:

Any thoughts?

I saw the trailer when I went to see Surrogates.  Not sure if I want to see the movie or not yet.  Maybe.

So it's similar to The Road as well...? From what I have heard The Road is similar to Fallout (3) as well. (Great game, by the way. I recently sold it and am now waiting for my copy of the Game of the Year Edition.)

Weird how sometimes films come out in pairs (Full Metal Jacket vs. Platoon; Armageddon vs. Deep Impact; etc.).

Your right it doesn't seem to take long before a copycat appears. As of right now I am looking forward to both "The Road" and "The Book of Eli". Both have great actors and look really good.

Didn't that just happen with Paul Blart and Observe and Report?  ;D

iven the time it takes to create a movie it's often more freak coincidence rather than copying the other one. E.g.: I would not suspect neither Kubrick nor Stone to making a copycat film of the other...


Paul Blart the Mall Cop? And there is a film with similar theme to that? :laugh:

Yeah, there is a movie called Observe and Report that stars Seth Rogan. Its a comedy about a mall security guard too.  :laugh:

I did read somewhere that Observe and Report was actually made first and got shelved for some reason. :-\
