Moving on from Max Payne, Mila Kunis has joined the cast of action thriller The Book of Eli, which is in development at Warner Bros., Silver Pictures and Alcon Entertainment.
She will play Solara, who is at first enlisted to betray the titular character, but ultimately joins him in his quest. The movie will have Eli, the lone hero, fight his way across the wasteland of a near-future America to protect a sacred book that might hold the key to saving the future of humanity in a post-apocalyptic world.
The film is being directed by Albert and Allen Hughes. It begins shooting in February 2009 in New Mexico.
