Mila Kunis boards 'Book of Eli'

Mila Kunis is the latest to join Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman in Albert and Allen Hughes’s upcoming drama “Book of Eli.”

Washington will play Eli, a hero who travels across America to protect a sacred book and pass on the knowledge of what could be society’s way to redemption.

The Hollywood Reporter says Kunis plays a woman who first tries to betray but later joins Eli on his quest. Oldman stars as the despot of a small town.

The Hughes brothers, who last helmed “From Hell,” are directing Gary Whitta’s script, which Anthony Peckham rewrote. Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment are producing the project.

Kunis, who's famous for her role as Jackie on "That '70s Show," most recently starred alongside Mark Wahlberg in "Max Payne." She also voices Meg Griffin on "Family Guy."
