About BATTLE: LOS ANGELES

For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world — Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, and China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world’s great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It’s up to a Marine staff sergeant (Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they’ve ever encountered before. BATTLE: LOS ANGELES was written by Chris Bertolini (The General’s Daughter) and produced by Neal H. Moritz and Ori Marmur (The Green HornetThe Bounty Hunter). Executive producers are Jeffrey Chernov (upcoming Mission Impossible: Ghost ProtocolStar Trek) and David Greenblatt. It was distributed by Columbia Pictures and has a run time of approximately 116 minutes. It has been rated PG-13 for sustained and intense sequences of war violence and destruction, and for language.

August, 1957. America is lost. Four years after the end of the critically-acclaimed Resistance® 2, dishonorably discharged Sentinel Joseph Capelli has given up fighting the Chimeran menace.

    Funny how they don’t mention anything about their own movie-tie-in video game.

  2. Sean Ferguson

    I’m not happy that I missed this in the theaters.

  3. Aaron Neuwirth

    There is probably a joke her about Sean, Michelle Rodriguez, Battle LA, and Fast Five still being in theaters that I can’t quite come up with…

    Scratching my head at Sean’s comment.
