Ray Stevenson, who stars this Friday in Punisher: War Zone, has joined Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis in The Book of Eli, the Alcon-financed drama that Warner Bros. will distribute.
Allen and Albert Hughes will direct the film, which begins shooting in February.
Variety says Stevenson will play an enforcer dispatched to kill Eli (Washington) as he fights his way across the American wasteland, protecting a sacred book that may hold the key to saving humanity.
