Battle: Los Angeles

.
Hitting the cinema screens in March 2011 is a Michael Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan sci fi blockbuster billed as "very intense, like Black Hawk Down but with aliens in it".

 "Drive-by: Los Angeles style"
Battle: Los Angeles: Coming 2011

Inspired by footage of soldiers in Iraq, the movie focuses on one particular marine battalion fighting right in the thick of an alien invasion of Los Angeles.

The team behind the movie wanted to present a 'realistic' a picture as possible of an alien invasion, and worked hard to ensure the aliens, their machinery, how they arrive all had a purpose. The aliens have tactics. How they work together and everything they do was designed to feel functional and very real.


Looking forward to it!

Cheers

  1. I might go and watch it once it comes out... Haven't watched District 9 yet, so I'll get that in DVD soon...

  2. I remember seeing the trailer or a teaser for this someplace and thinking at first that it was a sequel to District 9.

    I'll likely be catching this one in theatres.

  3. Sounds good.
    And since others mentioned it....
    I liked District 9 and I would love a 'bug' exo armour model in either 15mm or 28mm based of the design of that one in District 9. It looked very realistically and practically designed as well as functional without being some super weapon. It did after all go down after several RPG hits. It was very... Landmate-ish.
