John Boyega Attached to Star in ‘The Book of Eli’ Prequel Series
The post-apocalyptic movie The Book of Eli starred Denzel Washington back in 2010, and Deadline reports today that John Boyega (Attack the Block) is on board to both star in and executive produce a prequel series package that’s being presented to “select premium buyers.”
Boyega would play a young version of Denzel’s character from the movie.
Gary Whitta, who wrote The Book of Eli, is on board the planned project. The 2010 movie was directed by The Hughes Brothers, who are also attached to executive produce the series.
Deadline reminds, “The neo-Western Book Of Eli movie takes place thirty years after a nuclear catastrophe. It revolves around Eli, a nomad who fights his way across a ravaged, post-apocalyptic America while protecting a sacred book that holds the secrets to humanity’s salvation.”
The site also notes, “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.”

“Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” Trailer – “Camp Cretaceous” Sequel Kills Off Jenna Ortega’s Character
In the wake of the five-season animated series “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous,” Netflix’s “Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” is stomping its way onto the platform this year.
“Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” premieres May 24, and the series is set six years after the events of “Camp Cretaceous.” Watch the official trailer from Netflix below.
While the other characters from “Camp Cretaceous” are back in the new series, what’s interesting here is that Jenna Ortega’s Brooklynn is not coming back. As the official “Chaos Theory” trailer reveals, Brooklynn was killed off between shows, with the character’s death kickstarting the “conspiracy thriller” events of this brand new Jurassic World sequel series.
Jenna Ortega had voiced Brooklynn for all five seasons of “Camp Cretaceous.”
In the CG-animated series from Universal, DreamWorks and Amblin Entertainment…
“Six years later, members of “The Nublar Six” are struggling to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them.
“Reunited in the wake of a tragedy, the group comes together only to find themselves on the run and catapulted into a global adventure to unravel a conspiracy that threatens dinosaur and humankind alike and finally learn the truth about what happened to one of their own.”
There will be 10 episodes in the show’s first season, running 22-minutes each.
Scott Kreamer, Aaron Hammersley serve as Executive Producers and Showrunners, with Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow, and Frank Marshall also serving as Executive Producers.
Speaking of Jurassic World, a brand new live action movie is also coming soon. It doesn’t yet have a title, but it’s releasing July 2, 2025, and Scarlett Johansson is in talks to star.
