John Boyega Lands Role in ‘The Book of Eli’ Prequel Series

John Boyega has landed a new role! The actor has teamed up with Gary Whitta for a prequel to Denzel Washington’s hit film, The Book of Eli.

Deadline is reporting, “Details about the TV series are sketchy, but I hear it is set 30 years prior to the events in the film, which would put it around the time of the nuclear event or its immediate aftermath.” Boygea will play the younger version of Washington’s Eli.

The series is currently being shopped to buyers, so we should be hearing something relatively soon regarding its future.
