Friday, September 25, 2009 at 2:32PM New Trailer for Denzel's 'The Book of Eli'
If you saw the Comic Con trailer for The Book of Eli, some of this will look pretty familiar. There is a change in the way it's structured, though, and we certainly see more footage than we have to this point.

As with any movie trailer, this one sells the selling points, which in some general order are Denzel, The Hughes Brothers, Gary Oldman as a villain, Mila Kunis, and the apocalypse. The apocalypse is so hot right now. Denzel is a good bet more than half the time, and I've been waiting for more from Allen and Albert Hughes for a while now. Oldman is usually slightly better than the material, or even worse than a bad script (*cough* Lost in Space), but I don't think this looks like a catastrophe, so he should be fine.
The choice to go with the supersaturated colors may backfire over the duration of a film - and we'll find that out in January - but I think it works for the purposes of the next two-and-a-half minutes.

Here's all I'll say about what irks me in this trailer: I have to replace sunglasses about once a year. Lenses get scratched, you lose a pair, whatever. How in the world do these characters have an endless supply of shades after the apocalypse? The Sunglass Hut had a better end-of-the-world business plan than everybody else, I guess.
I mean, I get that the sun is a big factor in the story, but if they can keep manufacturing sunglasses, what the hell's the problem rebuilding the rest of the world?
