Aliens fight Marines in Battle: Los Angeles. It’s got a great title (and easily sequelized!) and won’t be annoyingly first person view, so no vomiting motion sickness. Heck, it will probably be better than GI Joe, so I’m all for it! Bring on the aliens, because it’s time to kick some alien butt!

Aliens to Attack Hollywood in Battle: Los Angeles
You’ve heard about the possible V remake. Here’s one better: Columbia just picked up an original spec script about aliens invading Los Angeles. Continuing the Snakes on A Plane title trend, this new film is to be called simply Battle: Los Angeles, in which a Marine platoon will… battle aliens on the streets of Los Angeles.
The news from The Hollywood Reporter is that it’s written by Chris Bertolini (The General’s Daughter) and will be produced by Neal Moritz, the man behind this weekend’s box office horror hit, Prom Night. “I love the idea, and I love the script. I like it all,” he told the trade. “We are going to be in production within six months.” The “huge event movie,” as the producer called it, won’t have a huge budget but, thankfully, it will have better camera work than Cloverfield.
No word on the casting but you can easily imagine Samuel Jackson as a Marine Sergeant saying, “Enough is enough. I’ve had it with the motherf— aliens in this motherf— town!”
