Earth Vs. Moon

It's Finally L.A.'s Turn To Get Crushed 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]

Our Greatest Space Enemy Could Be Right Overhead

One of the writers of Monsters, Inc. is working on a new science fiction movie called Earth Vs. Moon. Universal paid high-six figures for the pitch from writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, who also created Spike TV's The Joe Schmo Show and are writing a new movie, Zombieland. (Reese was a writer for Monsters, and Wernick won three Emmys for his work on TV news.) I talked to a rep at Scott Stuber, the production company overseeing the project, and they said it's just a pitch, and no script has been written yet. We'll hopefully have details about the film's satellite-blasting plot soon. [Hollywood Reporter]
