At the time, there was no release date in sight, just set at an ambiguous ‘TBA.’ Until today. It looks like Sony / Columbia have settle on a date for it’s epic battle in Los Angeles, and that date is…. February 18, 2011!
Wow, that’s a long time from now! Then again, not too long…and likely just long enough to create something awesome. Considering BATTLE: LOS ANGELES is coming from TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING director Jonathan Liebesman, you know it will at least look amazing, and will likely entertain with the best of them.
As a quick recap, BATTLE: LOS ANGELES revolves around a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon’s battle against an alien invasion on the streets of Los Angeles. It’s funny how quick this was to land a release date after the awesome weekend that DISTRICT 9 had at the box office. Thinnk we’ll see more alien and alien invasion movies in the near future? Oh yes… I think so.
So there you have it. February 18, 2011 is the official release date for BATTLE: LOS ANGELES. Drink it in and set to memory. This shit’s gonna be awesome.
