Mila Kunis joins THE BOOK OF ELI
Rather than wasting my time sitting at this desk wondering whether this is newsworthy enough for you guys, I might as well write the damn thing up, deciding as I go whether to publish it or not. I guess if your reading this now, I chose to publish it. Or you have hacked into Obsessed With Film and are reading my private drafts, whatever. Just don't delete my slowly being drafted Top Ten of 2008 article! The Hollywood Reporter say the cuter than cute Mila Kunis (the lovely receptionist from FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL) has joined THE BOOK OF ELI, the soon to be filming Denzel Washington thriller which marks the first movie from The Hughes Brothers (FROM HELL) in seven years. Anthony Peckham (DON'T SAY A WORD) has recently been re-drafting rookie scribe Gary Whitta's original screenplay. The movie finds Washington as a lone hero who must fight his way across the wasteland of a near-future America to protect a sacred book that might hold the key to saving the future of humanity. Kunis will play Solara, a character whose true allegions we can never be sure of. Shooting begins February in New Mexico. Joel Silver is producing for Alcon Entertainment, Warner Bros. and Summit Entertainment.
