BATTLE: LOS ANGELES Casting Stuff!! Soon We'll Learn Who Will Fight Those Gnarly Aliens!!

Published at:  Jun 18, 2009 10:45:05 AM CDT


Merrick here...





We've previously heard composer Brian Tyler talk about how phenomenal this film's design work/fx pre-vis is...learned that Aaron Eckhart would star (HERE) and that Jonathan Liebesman would direct (HERE) .

Now we have a sense of the characters who'll be defending L.A. against alien (the extraterrestrial kind) invasion via THIS casting breakdown over at Spoiler TV. There's a message on the page implicitly asking folks not to reprint the details, so don't yell at me about not presenting it here.

    of shit they got from somewhere in the first place. There is no way they typed that up!
    "oh I heard about all these people that are in a film, but I can't tell you so you will have to go and ask the person that told me. Here's his address...oh and don't ask where he got the casting sheet from"

    Why are you wasting time with these bad movies when Sam Raimi's fantastic "Drag Me to Hell" is still in theaters? Join the "Drag Me To Hell" talkback!

    I thought Aaron was gonna fight them all by himself

    man that he is. But I guess it's good to be employing an army of people in this economy.

    "Heard about the phenomenal design work"

    by big dumb ape

    On the surface, this sounds like it could be a fun movie. A military versus aliens movie could be a blast, depending on how successfully things are handled. But if this thing has SUCH "phenomenal design and FX pre-vis work", then get some spies on that shit. Break an actual story already!

    Aaron Eckhart

    Isn't he basically Thomas Jane with better acting chops?

    Nice! A movie about our Border Patrol!

    by particularly hard vato

    I have been waiting for them to get their cinematic due! I wonder if they will team with the border militia, finding common ground in some love story ala Romeo an d Juliet...

    Drag Me To Hell

    by lloytron

    Was OK. Funny in places, but not scary at all and an average ending. Watch Evil Dead 1 or 2 again, they are both far superior in every respect.

    IMplicitly?

    by uncoolnews

    Um... I'm no professional movie news web site reporter or anything but isn't that request not to reprint the details an EXplicit one? (Since the definition of implicit is: "implied, rather than expressly stated")

    There actually was a battle like this over 70 years ago

    by monkey_king

    except there no sightings of aliens, just bombs bouncing off a huge stadium-sized object in the skies of Cali.

    Finally... Another alien invasion film. And of course it's all happening in Los Angeles... again. Sigh. How original.
