]]>The Book of Eli chronicled the journey of the hardened nomad Eli, as he travels across a ravaged, post-apocalyptic America with one goal in mind – to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to humanity’s salvation. In addition to Washington in the lead role, the original film also starred Gary Oldman, Mila Kunis, Ray Stevenson, and Jennifer Beals.
The prequel series would reportedly star Boyega as a younger version of Eli, 30 years before the events of the original movie. This would put the start of the series around the time of the nuclear event that ravaged Eli’s world.
Gary Whitta, who wrote the original film, would return as creator, writer, and executive producer of the prequel series. The Hughes Brothers, who directed Washington in The Book of Eli, would join him as executive producers, alongside Boyega. Alcon Entertainment is producing the project and taking it to select premium buyers, but it probably won’t take them long to find a new home for this hot package.

]]>Boyega will be reprising his breakout role as Moses. The sequel is in the early stages of development and plot details are being kept under wraps.
Attack the Block marked Cornish’s directorial debut. Since then he’s co-written Ant-Man and helmed The Kid Who Would Be King.
The original follows Boyega’s Moses as he leads a teenage street gang that defends themselves against aliens. The film didn’t do well at the box office, but it gained a cult following.
“It’s been a decade since ‘Attack The Block’ was released and so much has changed since then. I’m excited to see this heightened story return to the streets of London. Moses has remained one of my favorite characters to play and bringing him back is a huge honor,” Boyega said in a statement to Variety.
He also posted the news on Instagram, captioning the post, “Yes Attack the Block 2 is happening! Yes I’ll be starring and producing! Yes I’m bloody excited ! London VS them tings.”

]]>Small Axe will focus on the struggles of the members of the West Indian community, living in London between the ‘60s and the ‘80s. The six-part series will tell five different stories, that McQueen wanted to share with the world.
“I wanted to relive, reevaluate and investigate the journeys that my parents and the first generation of West Indians went on to deliver me here today calling myself a black British person. What’s important about our stories is that they are local but at the same time global,” explained the 12 Years A Slave director in a statement.
Wright and Boyega aren’t the only actors cast in McQueen’s next project. Small Axe will also star Malachi Kirby (Roots), Shaun Parkes (Lost in Space), Rochenda Sandall (Line of Duty), Alex Jennings (The Crown) and Jack Lowden (War & Peace).
The series is expected to premiere on BBC One next year, and Amazon already picked the US rights.
