Does anyone know what the book of Eli...

Funny you ask cause I am eli... haha just kidding.

I have been interested in the book and weighing thoughts on how to reproduce the book but I have alot of other things on my table. I attached a pic
 
I'm Eli, too!

This movie looks pretty interesting, the book as well.

Here's another picture of it. Plus, a picture of Gary Oldman's character reading Mussolini by RJB Bosworth. Got these from the website, which is pretty cool in it's own right.

I think it's supposed to be a bible so maybe it's a found item. I could be wrong though but that's my impression from the trailer.
 
Yea, it's a Bible. At the very least, they really want you to believe it's a Bible.

Here are two more pictures. The first is taken from trailer #2. The second is taken from a featurette on the fighting. It's a comic representation of the book. From what I've seen, the Hughes Brothers are making a tie-in to graphic novels.

So what we can see so far: old, thick, leather-bound, metal clasp, inset cross.
 
I'm really looking forward to this film.

Post apocalyptic films can sometimes look a bit cheap and corny, but this one looks particularly well done and thought through.

A great cast too. Plus story boards and concept art by 2000AD favourite Chris Weston. Looks very cool and visually rich for nerds like myself.
 
Whoa! I have a bible that looks exactly like that (though it's a little thicker)!!

Edit: Okay, spoke too soon. It's close, but not quite.

If it is a found item, it's probably an antique Lecturn/Pulpit bible.

One of the best movies of the decade. Hands down. Seen it twice, prolly gonna see it many more.

As for the Book, Its going to be very hard to duplicate it I would assume. See the movie and you will understand. But, ive never really looked into something like that, so i could be wrong haha

A Spoiler alert will have to be placed in the title for this thread, as there is no way to even speak about the book without ruining the entire movie haha
 
Here's the one Premiere had for sale (they seem to have sold it too, for $4999).

It's a braille bible, is that what it is in the movie? (Edit: Apparently it is, I've been advised to hide that information... :cool )

would love to have a copy of this book, and im no expert but ...
the book is about as thick as a normal bible, and yet its on heavy duty paper to account for the braille, if it really was a full blown braille bible on as thick of paper as it is, i would guess it had to be 3 times as thick as it appears in the movie.
 
I had to watch the movie twice before I caught on why it was that type of Bible...then, it all made sense....I never saw that fact coming....:cool

Did anyone see the auction of the screen used sword a month or two ago? I forgot to check back and see how much it ended up selling for.
