The City of Angels & Santa Monica Have Alien (The Kind From Outer Space) Problems In BATTLE: LOS ANGELES!!


Merrick here...

Columbia has acquired a spec script by Chris Bertolini called BATTLE: LOS ANGELES.

The story follows one Marine platoon's encounter in the battle against an alien invasion on the streets of Los Angeles.

...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.

Neal Moritz (I AM LEGEND, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUSes, the xXx films, TVs PRISON BREAK, and...most importantly...TORQUE) will produce.

THIS ARTICLE in Variety offers another detail, saying BATTLE is about...

an alien invasion that starts in Santa Monica and heads east toward Los Angeles.

I've always thought Santa Monica people (are they "Santa Monicans"?) were kinda weird...are we sure these invaders are aliens? Maybe they're just citizens wandering down the freeway.

Either way, this sounds like a great video game.
