After a seven year hiatus, the Hughes Brothers are back. Best known for their directing in the 1993 hit Menace II Society and followed by Dead Presidents, the brothers took some time off to explore TV and documentaries. But now they are back to the big screen in a huge way, directing Denzel Washington in The Book of Eli. The Hughes Brothers begin filming later this year and are hoping for a 2009 release date.
