Comic-Con ’10: BATTLE: LOS ANGELES With Aaron Eckhart And Michelle Rodriguez. Plus, Trailer/Footage Description

The panel of BATTLE: LOS ANGELES today at Comic-Con ’10 started off with a great trailer for the disaster/alien movie starring Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez. By the way they and the filmmakers showed up. To me, Michelle was one of the few decent things about James Cameron’s Avatar.
“Battle: Los Angeles” revolves around a Marine staff sergeant (Eckhart) and his new platoon’s battle against an alien invasion on the streets of Los Angeles. Rodriguez will play Crpl. Adriana Santos, a member of a radio battalion. Pena plays the father of a boy the Marines find along the way, and Moynahan plays a veterinarian…

How do I describe the trailer for BATTLE: LOS ANGELES? It’s like this.. it’s The Hurt Locker meets War Of The Worlds. It opens with a big colossal scene, birds eye view of the city of Los Angeles destroyed and blown to smithereens.  And then we’re introduced to Aaron Eckhart’s character who seems uncertain about what it is that they’re fighting until his unit finds themselves under attack from a powerful force that nobody expects coming a mile away. Next shot gives us one of the soldiers separated from the group, isolated inside a kitchen of an abandoned house, terrified. And you see something rises from behind him.
