A Pic Of Aaron Eckhart In BATTLE: LOS ANGELES...
Merrick here...
io9 has a picture from BATTLE: LOS ANGELES which shows us Aaron Eckhart in military gear.
You can find an embiggenable version of the above image as well as a picture of a big freeway explosion, HERE.
Jonathan Liebesman (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING) is directing this effects intensive, ultra-gritty alien invasion piece which also stars Michelle Rodriguez and Bridget Moynahan.

...this charming motherfucker better not try talking me...

...into smoking again. I barely resisted last time. I don't want to fucking smoke.
-
...as Michelle Rodriguez. I am on the edge of my seat with anticipation to see what brilliantly unique characterization she comes up with for this movie. Some people say Gary Oldman has range, but in my opinion you just can't beat Michelle.
-
Transformers and 2012 not good enough? Just tear the shit of L.A. why not?...
-
Do the plan on chroma-keying out the weapons in favor of walkie-talkies?
-
hahaha! Love it!
-
the valley is usually spared, anyhow, so no problem here.
-
...captain america...
Im just sayin'. -
Now THAT would be sweet!
-
Aaron wins. Flawless Victory.

I think MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ will play a kindly nurse or a fragile

Too bad I was hoping this was going to be a comedy. Well then again that would require one to find Bobby funny.
-
Why not Battle For Los Angeles or Battle Of Los Angeles?
-
Thomas Jane personally.
-
or plugins. Man it looks like crap when it's over-done like that. SUBTLETY folks.
-
Playing himself. On Will & Grace no less. Upon being recognized . . . "Thanks. First time today. I've gotten three Matthew McConaugheys, two Aaron Eckharts, and one Thomas Jane. Whoever that is."
-
Do look forward to seeing this movie though. When is it due out?
-
Remind me next December.
-
Like, entirely CG or something? That doesn't look like a real human being to me. Weird, weird picture. Anyway, Eckhart, other than the Dark Knight, is basically box office poison (hes never had a hit), so we'll see how this goes. COuld be super badass awesome, could be completely retarded Bay-ish crap.
-
All pixely and color corrected weird. To be "gritty". lame.
-
The resemblance is uncanny.
-
was directing this... My modest enthusiasm for this film just sunk a bit lower...
-
...so Hollywood, if you could please refrain from making a good actor another piece of 'ZOMG ACTIONZ & SPLOISONZ!' meat I would really appreciate it.
-
Put a Pepsi in his hand and you're done... Weird...
-
It looks like someone was experimenting with HDR photography with no idea what they were doing... There are practically no shadows/highlights in the photo.
It's becoming my newest "I hate this effect" because people don't know what they're doing keep using it. Usually it's landscape photography though, not movie publicity shots... that's a first seeing it for me.
If it's not a bad HDR photo attempt, then someone really fucked up adjusting their shadows/highlights in photoshop. -
Josh Lucas got the role last week, i'm surprised this site hasn't posted anything about it, it's not a very well kept secret. He's already started buffing up and plans to gain 25 pounds of muscle by the start of filming
-
Am I the only one who finds her attractive?
She's what's known in Britain as a borderline boiler. -
Oh what could have been....
Instead we got Tatum Channing.
-
Or is he looking more like George W. Bush?
-
I like the sound of it... And, no, you are not the only one.
-
"Borderline boiler" seems a bit harsh for Michelle...
-
I SAW THIS ONLINE LAST FRIDAY!
-
SOLDIER! ARE YOU MAKING KISSY FACES AT ME!? ARE YOU SOME KIND OF NEW JERSEY GUIDO ORANGE FACED SPIKEY HAIRED MAGGOT!? DID YOUR MOMMA JUST FEED YOU A LEMON FOR THE FIRST TIME SO SHE CAN PUT A VIDEO OF IT UP ON YOUTUBE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE HOW GODDAMN ADORABLE YOU ARE!? HEAD AND EYES STRAIGHT FORWARD! THERE IS NO PUCKERING IN THIS MAN'S ARMY! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?
-
You, me, and Vin Diesel find her attractive.
-
I couldn't exactly put my finger on it before, but it is because there are no shadows/contrast anywhere in the photo. Very strange effect. I don't know much about photoshop or this HDR stuff, but I agree that I don't like it. He doesn't look like a real person. And the fact that someoe above pointed out its being directed by the TCM remake guy...lets face it...this is going to blow. Fun concept, but its going to be retarded.
-
...could be an interesting popcorn flick. I'm always down for a good alien invasion.
-
Just wondering.
-
Is this a sequel to Battle in Seattle because Rodrigues was in that too.
-
Is that a stylistiq choice like putting family crests on guns in Romeo & Juliet, or is that just a blue tinted pic?
-
Sorry Hollywoodland tried to cram that guy down our throats in 2005 and failed. No way would they allow him to touch Captain America. I still say its gonna be Matt Damon. You need someone as popular or more then Edward Norton and RDJ.
-
What's with the q's?
-
"Hi, I'm 41 years old and want to join the army and fight Hitler" "That man is the perfect candidate for our Super Soldier Experiment" "yes he is, and to think they wanted a 18 to 25 year old for the job" Together : "HA HA HA"
-
Avatar would have been perfect without her.
-
It looks like someone put the image in Photoshop and used the Posterize effect.
And Eckhart is too old to play Captain America, as is Matt Damon and Josh Lucas. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if they gave it to Sam Worthington though the guy is a walking plank, Maybe Chris Pine? I dunno. -
Small budget, but very good Los Angeles-based sci-fi/horror film. Deserves a look. Puts a terror attack(?) at middle distance, ground level. Impressive.
-
he's already began a fitness regime to bulk up and there was a picture of him in a Captain America uniform from an early screen test, Paramount has since pulled it offline but i'm sure it can be found somewhere on the web
-
I just like it. Its like the taller robber clogging up the sinq (hee hee) in home alone as his calling card. Btw is battle in seattle any good your mentioning it has me a *little* interested.

I wonder if audiences would find Josh Lucas as Captain America to be odd, if they saw him as a bad guy from Ang Lee's Hulk movie? But maybe he'd look different enough that it wouldn't be distracting. Assuming people who saw Captain America even saw Ang Lee's Hulk. I would be much more surprised if the earlier claim that Tobey Maguire was in talks to play Beorn were true. I don't think anyone intending to be taken seriously would make that claim, so I will laugh along with the person who made the statement. Ha ha ha!
-
To be Captain. Maybe if there was some back story about Captain being just some coked up druggie maybe. Its either gonna be Matt Damon, or if they are going for no namers that guy from the new 24 hour spin off show on Fox. Manhunter or someshit. He was on Boston Legal and Fringe.
-
He's too old now. But that's the look they need to get.
-
Just because something is gritty doesnt mean it's good. There's been a lot of gritty stuff that sucks.
-
audiences doen't have trouble buying an actor in mulitiple comic book movies, Audiences should find it easy to accept Lucas as the cap even though he was in HULK. And him and renoyds aren't the first, Halle Berry was storm and then catwoman, hell even terrence stamp was Zod, then he was that dude from the electra movie and currently he voices Jor-el on superman
-
she can really hold her breath. I thought she must have been filmed underwater for most of Avatar. You know, like 300.
-
Hulk and Captain America are in the same universe and I think having just a voice in one movie versus being seen in both would be more cumbersome. Although I know you're joking since you made the Tobey Maguire statement about Beorn, so I'll chuckle again. Heh.
-
Now that's a movie I'd like to see ;)
-
Testify.
-
Good call everybody!
-
He and his family are retards! No effing way they'll bring Josh Lucas in as Cap! I think it'll be Damon, as someone said earlier needs to be someone who is as popular as Norton and Downey.
-
At first glance I thought they were trainers, but if you look carefully at the screens they have been altered in post, look at the item in the MOLLE pouch on top row (above the rifle magazine pouches below the name tag) third from the right and you can see some artifacts. Could be wrong though.
-
that ufo pic from the 40s that showed the us army firing at alleged flying saucers. This has nothing to do with zack de la rocha, dammit. tho this doesn't look very retro, either.
-
but please tell me what you guys think about the transformers 3 script.. Don't get me wrong i'm pissed that it leaked online but it's out there so i figure might as well get you input as me an Erhen go into the second draft
-
Aaron Eckhart is the guy to play Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell.
Cam we please get a Splinter Cell written by Tony Gilroy and directed by Kurt Wimmer. -
FLOCKA!!!
-
I want to beat Jett over the head with his keyboard.
-
this may have been said already, but this looks annoyingly HDR'd.
For anyone unfamiliar with photography and Photoshop, that's a technique for making everything look unnatural, overly colorful and SHITTY.
-
They also need to have someone who could believeably lead the likes of Norton & Downey. I think Eckhart could pull that off. Not so sure about Damon.
-
and it ended with "us" not making a dent and "them" disappearing.
-
I just read the TF3 script, it sounds great, way better than TF2
-
We didn't want to resort to the "time travel" device, but in the end it was the best way to take the series back to its roots as well as a way to through in countless homages to the cartoon. We also feel its a smaller story then the first two were and should please fans that felt overwhelmed by the second film
-
Seriously, though. It looks like he chews nails and shits them into their various metalic minerals.
-
He did his very best with TCM The Beginning. The script was way too downbeat and fucked up so the audience left the movie cold. Especially since no one lived at the end. I didn't hate that movie at all. It was just ultimately unnecessary. But that doesn't mean he did a bad job. He did the best with what he had. And it had more memorable scenes than the original remake. Especially that ending where Leatherface just walks away after killing Jordana Brewster. And the girl getting hooked out of the moving car. He also made "Rings" which was better than that bullshit "The Ring 2". They should have hired him to direct the Nightmare remake instead of that hack Bayer.
-
see it if you have not.
-
Aaron Eckhart is looking mighty fuckin' hot.
-
...It was INDIANAPOLIS COLTS face paint!
GO COLTS! GO MANNING! PANDORA SUPPORTS YOU! ALL THE WAY!!! -
That looks like a really really badly tone mapped HDR image (I'm on Flickr under elementalPsul and know a thing or too about HDR). This image tells us nothing about the movie from which it was taken.
-
Why do you know what is going on on Will and Grace..?....and Jax from Sons of Anarchy should be Cap. Cap is younger. Downey and Nortons age will be a non issue...especially since they won't be in it at all. You will see a big green cgi monster and a red and yellow machine cgi character. No "people" need. Thanks James Cameron for showing everyone we can make a movie without actors.

This Will Be Independence Day By Way Of Battlestar Galactica
by freebeer
The new version not the cheesy one, mark my words. And I don't buy Aaron trying to look all rugged, doesn't suit him.
-
No, I too want me some M Rodriguez loving. Thought she was super hot in Lost, all breasty and sweaty and tank toppy and eye smouldery the whole time
-
She's in fucking every movie.
-
just sayin.
-
Late night typo - elementalPaul on Flickr. In the cold light of day this still looks like a badly tone mapped image! Tone mapping is not good for faces and this example is no exception.
-
If you have not seen Sons of Anarchy do your self a favor and check it out. The guy that plays the lead "Jax" would be perfect.Of course he'd have to cut his hair but who ever called that one was dead on.
-
I don't know what that pic does for us. He doesn't even look that great in it. But if I sat through Love Happens I can sit through this blue weapons movie.

I don't care what anybody says... I Love Michelle Rodriguez!
by vomitousmass
Sure, she's a character actor, who only plays smoking hot, internally tortured, frequently pouting, tough-as-nails Latina chicks. So what? I don't see people complaining about those five guys at any given time that have the "Redneck Sheriff" market cornered, and they aren't even pretty to look at.
-
Charlie Hunnam is the name of the actor who plays Jax on SoA. He also was in Green Street Hooligans and the Judd Apatow produced tv show Accepted. And yes, I think he would make a great Captain America.
-
He's not American but whatever. NO SAM WORTHINGTON
-
Looks to be the kind of lady who, had she had a mind to, would really, truly, enthusiastically and quite memorably bend your Johnson.
-
Only hotter.
-
Michelle Rodriguez looks like she enjoy a nice slice of the damp.
-
Though she should use the freedom from her AVATAR association to branch out into Indy productions, maybe get away from that Latina tough girl for a couple of movies. Believe it or not, she was actually complaining about being typecast in a recent interview...
Trying to branch out within the Hollywood studio system is damned near impossible for an actress. Even someone as big as Jolie winds up playing the same pouty-lipped secret agent/adventurer over and over. And don't even get me started on Zooey Deschanel, who's been playing the "protagonist's girlfriend" her entire career. -

Rodriguez not *entirely* stuck in the Hollywood system...
by vomitousmass
She's been in a few closer-to-indie productions... like that "Battle in Seattle" movie (file under that "weekend hobby of the stars" kinda indie) playing basically her standard character! Wasn't "Girlfight" her first movie and kinda-sorta indie? (Gotta look that up). Too bad for her she's so good in that cookie-cutter role.
-
...is that she was played by a woman named "Goldstein", and nobody even blinked. Amazing performance. Why didn't she get more high-profile work?
-
Some of those Aliens actors dropped off the face of the Earth.
-
Erm, well it should be anyway. Joe Johnston and Disney/Marvel, take note.
-
Wood Harris as a young Nick FurySam Jackson as the older version of course.Chris Helmswhatever as ThorI would LOVE to see Clark Gregg reprise his S.H.I.E.L.D agent role and be a larger part of the Avengers/Cap movie.Most other characters will just be CGI with cameos by Downey and Norton.
-
Pure and simple... If they ever make it... Oh and they better not place Rock in the future, like I have heard they plan to do.
-
also showed up in Cameron's T2 and Titanic. In Titanic, she played the woman trying to comfort her two kids in bed as the water was coming in.
-
He has jingoistic experience.
I hope "Battle of Los Angeles" has some "Guerilla Radio". Eckhart
turns to camera: "Turn that shit up". -
I have never seen Jenette Goldstein outside of a James Cameron movie (or a movie made by one of his ex-wives). Seems like a waste of talent to me! Apparently, she now runs a company that specializes in buxom bras... no joke.
-
Of course Eckart would make a great Captain America but they will never choose him! They always go for the cheap, uncomplicated young guy(Samn Worthinton) or pussy/gay(Ryan Reynolds) because they want to attract the 14 years old girls. Never mind that the best casting that resulted in the most successful of those franchise, Robert Downey Jr and Christian Bale were the opposite of that. The actor choice for Thor has been a travesty.
