Evan Jones nabs "The Book of Eli" and "American Tragic"

by Jane Boursaw on February 18th, 2009

Sometimes when a TV show is canceled, the actors fade into obscurity. Not so with Evan Jones, whom you may have seen on ABC’s canceled "October Road."

Jones has two movie projects in the works: "The Book of Eli," a futuristic Western from Warner Bros., and "American Tragic," an indie flick written and directed by Ryan Piers Williams.

In "Eli," Jones will play the leader of a group of bikers. Produced by Joel Silver, the movie also stars Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Jennifer Beals and Mila Kunis.

In "Tragic," Jones will play an old friend of James (Ryan O’Nan) a slaughterhouse worker. The cast also includes June Raphael, Melissa Leo ("Frozen River,") and America Ferrera, who is executive producing.

Sounds like a nice couple of films I’ll look forward to seeing. Both are scheduled for a 2010 release.
