SKYLINE trailer... aka another reason NOT to live in Los Angeles!

Hey folks, Harry here, I had duties that caused me to miss the SKYLINE panel in Hall H that the man formerly known as Moriarty, was hosting. Other than giant alien vacuum cleaners from outerspace going all "Ants in the Plants" on the citizenry of Los Angeles... I get nothing from the trailer. Well - I really dig the shit out of the imagery, but there's no sense of character or story, it is a teaser to show you just how bad life in Los Angeles can be when you treat Aliens wrong - and if Aliens are pissed, they should probably be pissed at Arizona, where they've been oh so welcoming of Aliens. Giggle. Sorry. Couldn't resist, I'm evil that way. Anyway - are there signs of intelligent life on SKYLINE? Well - it is being helmed by the Strause Brothers who helmed AVP: REQUIEM back in 2007. Since that movie, they've been busy as Visual Effects wizards on a series of pretty spectacular visual effects flicks like BENJAMIN BUTTON, 2012, AVATAR, BOOK OF ELI, IRON MAN 2 and their own film, SKYLINE. Now the writers on this project, Joshua Cordes and Liam O'Donnell, have no real prior history of writing. I usually find that exciting, because it means something new might be possible. This seems like a CLOVERFIELD meets the Aliens type of scenario - but I don't know for sure. I'd love to hear more as the trailer is intriguing. Looks like a fun FANTASTIC FEST flick, right?
