Aliens versus Marines AGAIN!
April 11, 2008
Neal Moritz, the producer who brought you The Fast and the Furious franchise, will oversee Battle: Los Angeles, an upcoming sci-fi flick that pits a group of Marines against alien invaders. Columbia Pictures has picked up the script by Chris Bertolini for Moritz to produce via his Original Films banner. The story reportedly tracks a Marine platoon as they fight against an alien invasion on the streets of L.A. "I love the idea, and I love the script. I like it all," Moritz said. "We are going to be in production within six months. What's attractive to me is that it's a huge event movie that can be done at a modest scale." Bertolini's only other screenwriter credit is 1999's The General's Daughter starring John Travolta. If Battle: Los Angeles is a success, we could easily see the studio duplicating the formula on a series of sequels set in other cities.

Could be decent for mindless action...I'll reserve judgment until we get a look at the aliens.
