We were wondering what would replace plague movies and dystopian futures as the next trend in movies, and it's looking like we have our answer: alien invasions and space battles. On the heels of Universal greenlighting Earth vs. Moon, Columbia Pictures is making Battle: Los Angeles, based on a spec script from Chris Bertolini (The General's Daughter). Battle: L.A. is about "a Marine platoon's encounter with an alien invasion on the streets of L.A.," and it'll have a low price tag, similar to Cloverfield. But no shaky handheld cam, promises producer Neil Moritz. [Slashfilm]

Los Angeles is full of aliens already. Why bother to invade?
Are you sure there are space battles? From the description this could just mean the pod people are expanding out of the American heartland.
I hope someone does the ole pewpew on the scientology building...or a giant alien uses it as a buttplug.
