R, my man, I gotta disagree there...I thought that looked great!

Maybe it was just me, the colour palette was cool but the action left me cold, maybe it's b/c I am still thinking about the action in the Ninja Assassin trailer.
 
Whoa that was completely awesome.

Gave me nostalgia of the Mad Max series (only with a more serious tone).

Haha actually, I'm sure that's it.
Man, that was crazy, huh?
But try to rewatch it, man....the action seems staged in a very coherent way, I love it.
Plus, it reminds me of Fallout 3.
 
Denzel kicking ass and Gary Oldman. How can this not be good?
 
Don't forget it's Denzel and Gary Oldman in a post-apocalyptic setting!

Even better!
 
I had no desire to see this trailer, then I saw Gary Oldman's name, so naturally I had to watch. Dude, talk about a total surprise!

This looks crazy good. Definitely had a fallout 3 vibe, I agree completely with you on that gammy.
 
Damn, that was pretty cool. And yeah, I definately got a Fallout 3 vibe. Hell, this could trick everyone it just looked just like it.
 
This looks great, far better than I expected, even though I was already looking forward to the Denzel/Oldman combo. Can't wait :up:
 
I didn't know there was a thread on this before I posted the trailer in another thread. Damn this looks like it'll be good. I can't wait, because the movie comes out on my birthday. I'm also a Denzel and Hughes Brothers fan, so I'm excited for this.
 
Watched the trailer. Their post apocalyptic world is very impressive. More convincing than Terminator Salvation or anything else I've seen recently. The CGI backgrounds look great.

Other than that, I will wait to see more.

Trailer is posted on AICN, and the consensus over there is "only because Oldman is in it", and i'm like, don't act like Denzel is some slouch in the acting department.
 
I'm sorry, when he broke out with that sword, I was like "SOLD!!!"
 
WB's Book of Eli presentation just ending. Here are the live notes from Joblo's coverage which you can find here (ongoing).

10:55
Here we are with Book of Eli!
Didn't know they'd be showing that here!
10:56
Crowd LOVES Denzel Washington, they LOVE Gary Oldman, they LOVE Mila Kunis, and they LOVE the Hughes Brthers.
10:56
It's Gary's firs time at Comic Con, and he seems to be enjoying himself.
10:57
The trailer earlier rocked, like a MAD MAX style movie after the Apocalypes. Gary Oldman is, ofcourse, the bad guy. He needs the book of Eli to rule the country.
10:58
Denzel says the book is actually a comic book... crowd laughs, so does the cast.
10:58
The two are joking around, Denzl says he thought he was supposed to play Gary's part.Denzel wants Milo to jump in and say something.
10:59
Denze: "My Ngga!" to a guy in the crowd. Hilarious!
11:00
Twins ask Milas what it was like working with Twins. She doesn't get it... then she does. Hughes Brothers are twins... get it.
11:00
Kunis is into the Twins that asked the question. They want to work with Kunis.
11:01
Some annoying dude is about to ask a question... he wants to know about the chemistry between Denzel an Gary.Denzel: It's like good sex.
11:01
Denzel is having a BLAST!
11:02
Everyone is lauging, having a good time.
11:03
Gary is asked what he likes better: playig the villian or playing the hero. Gary lies playing both... he doesn't know how he becams typed as the villian. He thanks Chris Nolan for casting him a Comissioner Gordon.
11:03
He had a lot of fun making this movie.
11:04
The Hughes Brother calls out the film's writer--the guys sitting a cross the hall from me.
11:05
2 more questions...some kid in a Spideman asks how long it took Denzel how long it took him to capture the character of Eli.
11:06
Denzel trained for 6 motnhs with martial arts and did his own fights.
11:06
Does Gary seek out playing the crazy dude? No. And the next Batman is at least 2 years away!
11:07

That's it for ELI, crowd goes nuts and totally insane. They exit, Denzel, Munis, and Gary pose for some pics, then they peace out.

:hehe:
 
Will see this. It's nice to see Denzel taking Will's typecast. Maybe we'll see Smith as a normal guy who gets wrong place/wrong timed into putting people in their place?
 
I didn't see these posted.

Denzel=Blade?

I saw that joke coming miles away. :down :p

But for real. Denzel does look like Blade from the MAX: Blade series covers. That's the first thing I thought when I saw two of these movie pictures.

I'm getting a bit more interested in this. And I might see it. Depends on the next footage coming.

And I've never heard of the Hughes Brothers. What films have they done?

The Hughes Brothers have directed Menace II Society, Dead Presidents, From Hell, and a documentary called American Pimp.

In my defense, I said that when we only had a poster and Denzel's outfit looked more like Blade :o
