Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight) joins Denzel Washington in the film Book of Eli from Warner Bros. reports Variety.

The post-apocalyptic action story, to be directed by Allen and Albert Hughes, “revolves around a lone warrior (Washington) who must fight to bring society the knowledge that could be the key to its redemption. Oldman has been set to portray the despot of a small makeshift town who’s determined to take possession of the book Eli’s guarding.”

Warner Bros. will handle domestic distribution deals while Summit controls the international sales.
