This past week there has certainly been no shortage of news on 'Battle: Los Angeles' as it nears closer to it's release date, and it looks like that wont be stopping anytime soon as now Aaron Eckhart, while at a press junket had given us some more information on the new alien invasion movie.
On the realism of the movie:
"The goal was: this is a war movie, a documentary style war movie – with aliens in it."
He then went on to compare the movie to one of his previous, 'The Dark Knight', in the sense that the film relies heavily on actual sets and back drops instead of relying mainly on CGI for the locations.
"It’s the same thing with The Dark Knight, you know Chris (Nolan) uses green screen, but the movie doesn’t rely on green screen, so you always get that feeling from Chris that this movie is real, and that’s why it adds that depth and texture. I think that it’s the same thing with this film."
Jonathan Liebsman also talked a bit about the film:
"I learned a lot from doing it, it’s great because it gives the actors freedom. Again, it helped me elevate what was on the page. It’s a style I am going to take forward into my next movie (Wrath Of The Titans, the sequel to last years Clash Of The Titans) but definitely tweak, because the next thing will require different things. I mean this is embedded footage with a Platoon, that’s the vibe of this movie."
'Battle: Los Angeles' hits theaters March 11th.
