The one chosen to replace the protagonist of ‘Malcolm X’ is John Boyega
Denzel Washington It is not a name that anyone usually associates with science fiction cinema, since he has participated in few films of this genre throughout his career. Today it’s time to remember the most recent of them, because taking advantage of the fact that ‘The Book of Eli’ is broadcast tonight on television, I wanted to recover the news that was passed on to us at the time that it is going to have a prequel.
An unexpected return
The truth is Nobody gave a euro because nobody was interested in returning to a universe that was not devastating at the time., since ‘The Book of Eli’ had a budget of 80 million dollars and later grossed 157.1 million. Most likely, he ended up recouping the investment with income through other windows and perhaps gave a modest profit to Sony, but it was not a success either.
The project comes from Gary Whittascreenwriter of the original film and co-author with M. Night Shyamalan from the script of the much criticized ‘After Earth’. Of course, this time she is not going to continue the story forward, since he has focused his efforts on making a television prequel with John Boyegathe unforgettable Finn from the ‘Star Wars’ sequel trilogy, to give life to a young version of the character of Washington.
To be more exact, the series will be located 30 years before the events seen in ‘The Book of Eli’so everything indicates that it will revolve around that nuclear catastrophe that caused the post-apocalyptic scenario that we saw in the feature film directed by the Hughes Brothers.
At the moment it is unknown where we can see the seriesbut surely some platform will want to get hold of it, since everything related to the post-apocalyptic is very much in vogue again after the success of ‘Fallout’.
