With production on her Showtime series “The L Word” completed for good, Jennifer Beals returns to her feature films roots with a role in the action thriller “The Book of Eli,” starring Denzel Washington.
The pair will be working together for the first time since 1995’s “Devil in a Blue Dress.”
Albert and Allen Hughes are directing “Eli” for Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment. The story follows a lone hero named Eli (Washington) who must fight his way across the wasteland of a near-future America to protect a sacred book that might hold the key to saving humanity.
Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis are also in the cast. Beals is playing Oldman’s sexual prize and Kunis’ mother, a blind woman doing anything she can to protect her child.
“The L Word,” meanwhile, is currently airing its final season.
