Film 808: The Book of Eli

Trivia: Kristen Stewart turned down Mila Kunis' role due to scheduling conflicts with New Moon.

Denzel Washington performed all of his own stunts in the hand-to-hand fight sequences.

The reason the cannibals' hands shake is because they suffer from Kuru disease - a form of Kreutzfeld Jakob Disease caused by eating human Brains or Spinal Columns. The first symptom is shaking limbs , which is why people check Eli's hands throughout the movie.

Denzel Washington shed about 50 pounds in preparation for the role.

Gary Oldman was cast at the suggestion of Denzel Washington.
