With THE ROAD still fresh in all our minds (if you haven’t seen it, you definitely should), we turn to more “lighthearted” post-apocalyptic fare like THE BOOK OF ELI. Not that it looks like a cheery experience, mind you. The situation seems pretty bleak in this future as well, but as long as we have a sword-wielding Denzel Washington to protect us, things should turn out fine… Mila Kunis is also there to provide a little ray of sunshine. (If mankind has to be repopulated, I guess there are worse people to kick it off with…)

Just a few days ago we showed you the new U.S. poster for the flick, and now we have the Russian one, courtesy of Kino-Govno. Honestly, neither are that special, but I guess they get the point across.
