What's on its way to theaters after the 2009 holiday movie season? One of the first to open is The Book of Eli. If you have not seen the trailer in theaters yet, you can watch The Book of Eli online. Many are thinking of it as another version of The Road. Could they be assuming too much, though?

If you watch The Book of Eli online, it does not seem too complicated to figure out. The film stars Denzel Washington as Eli, who protects the book he carries with him from harm as he travels through desolate surroundings. Gary Oldman is willing to kill him in order to get the book. Mila Kunis is ... .. well, you can not really tell just by watching The Book of Eli online, but she stars as the daughter of Oldman who apparently joins sides with Washington to keep the book from Oldman's clutches.
Detroit natives and twin brothers Albert and Allen Hughes, whose other credits include From Hell and Dead Presidents, are the directing force behind the story written by former PC Gamer editor-in-chief, Gary Whitta. What you will not see when you watch The Book of Eli online is Whitta's side story of the thrill in becoming a Hollywood insider overnight. You can read that at the NeoGAF gaming industry site's forum.
