The Book of Eli

Albert and Allen Hughes are coming aboard to direct "The Book of Eli," a postapocalyptic Western written by Gary Whitta for Warner Bros. Pictures. Joel Silver is producing with Silver Pictures' Susan Downey and Erik Olsen.

The script, which Warners bought earlier this year, centers on a lone hero who must fight his way across the wasteland of postapocalyptic America to protect a sacred book that might hold the key to saving the future of humanity.
