Actually, Baton Rouge and Shreveport; which makes even less sense. Then again, LA (the state) is really, really film-financing friendly.

Hahaha. Problem is, it’s going to be filmed in LA (Louisiana–Baton Rouge, to be exact), rather than L.A. (Los Angeles)! Frankly, I vote they move the filming to D.C., and I can think of one landmark, in particular, that it would be worth it to lose if we can get rid of its occupant too! lol

Oh, wait…was that off-topic? :)

I’m sorry to break it to you guys.
But you are looking at it the wrong way.

This isn’t a movie like that ‘The day the earth stood still. The original story behind the movie is about a UFO encounter from 1945 in LA. This encounter is on record. So a lot of real life details to add to the movie. Naturally they could do it totally different. But given the working hypothesis it shouldn’t be. http://ufocasebook.com/battleoflosangeles.jpg

I am not exicited, because it looks like a Cloverfield Rip-Off.
My second problem is: Famous landmarks in Los Angeles? I am from Germany and I can’t name many of them (Hollywood sign and the chinese theater come to mind, but after that?). If the story should take place in California, San Francisco would be the logical choice for me…

They need to make more foreign army invasion of USA movies. Like Red Dawn. Enough with alien invasion movies. The last good one was Transformers.

Doug I agree with almost every word in your article.

I live in LA and I would love to see it destroyed. They (the aliens) have to destroy the Kodak center and Staples Center and that new Nokia box. Oh and if they could take out all the movie studios that would really kick ass.
Oh and also Santa Monica. I really hate that town!!!!!

This isn’t a parady film right?

I am crossed on this one–a fan of aliens, scifi and the ilk–but afraid of what ^Darren said. I don’t see anywhere on this or the related link that discusses the form that the aliens take. This has always been a win/lose situation for me. It would seem that the more human-like an alien becomes, the more my friends actually fear the being. Then again, the majority of movie-goers may not care. My main fear is seeing another scifi movie tank and, potentially, lowering the ranks of scifi as a whole in the public view.

And why must it always be war? Whatever happened to releasing biological agents from space before attacking a species?….. I guess that isn’t good material. SAD FACE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE!

Yawn.

For every Aliens or Predator where we follow Mercs and/or Marines on an monster hunt, there’s five hundred plus, shall we say “inspirational” pieces that wind up as sci-fi channel fodder (good or horribleI…

…and we have seen L.A. get attacked by aliens before. Not the illegal kind either.

I’m sorry, Doug. I don’t share the enthusiasm. I just don’t.
