Battle: Los Angeles Trailer Online
We must watch them
Sony may have been getting a little nervous about Skyline's pre-empting its release by four months, but on the evidence of this trailer for the sci-fi war epic Battle: Los Angeles, they've got nothing at all to worry about.
It looks as if it's going to live up to its ID:4-meets-Black Hawk Down promise, and the haunting soundtrack (Sun's Gone Dim, by Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson - hat tip to Gazz for that factoid) only adds to the destructive drama. Impressively, Battle: LA seems to have entirely negotiated the hurdle of over-familiarity. We've seen the world's key cities destroyed by aliens before, but not quite like this.
Aaron Eckhart stars as a Marine staff sergeant who becomes mankind's last hope when the alien vs humans battle lines are drawn in the LA sand. He's backed up by Michelle Rodriguez, Ramon Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan, Ne-Yo and Michael Pena. Jonathan Liebesman directed Christopher Bertolini's screenplay, Brian Tyler did the score, and Skyline's Strause Brothers provided VFX work.
The war starts on March 25, 2011.

Props on dropping the title to the score I had to look it up. I could see kanye sampling it revamping it into something great. The whole time I was watching this vid I was waiting for a beat to drop.
nice trailer..glad to see michelle rodriguez is in it shes a soldier girl for sure. -

I was waiting for this, since hearing about it from Comic Con.
I liked the trailer, and the music…hopefully the movie delivers.
Michelle Rodriguez is officially typecast for this role. I like her though & love Eckhart.
I don’t really want to see Neyo, but I won’t judge…yet -
Nobody is checking for this?This is the best trailer I seen this year. I lost count how many times I watched this. The 1:45 - 1:47 mark looks intriguing and serious. I know the previous alien movies tainted any anticipation for it but regardless it looks epic. Michell rodriguez & harvey dent for the win.

Yeah, I’m a fan of alien invasion movies. I’m really excited for this…
* POSSIBLE spoiler* idk –it’s in the trailer*

@ 1:48! An alien unexpectedly jumps out the pool & just opens fire on the Marines!
Pause it, the image is awesome lol. *but one of them looks like it's Neyo… -
Trailer has me intrigued.

The song is what makes the trailer so epic. Such a sick tuneI was waiting for this, since hearing about it from Comic Con.

She needs to do a romantic comedy or something -
C/S I dont know if people know how scoring can play a major part into making a film great,memorable,or even classic if given the right sound. That was one of my gripes I had with watchmen. The music had too much of a 'wonder years' feel to it, it kind of made me forget I was watching a hero flick. Nat king cole(? rest his soul)'unforgettable' is not the right song for a opening fight scene imo.dontdiedontkillanyone wrote: »The song is what makes the trailer so epic. Such a sick tune -
Yeah, the score is nice.
The CGI in the second trailer looked a bit questionable.
I love alien films though so I'll definately checking for this. -
It Seems interesting. I wonder if this time the aliens intend to destroy us, or just take us as slaves? If they are content to depopulate the earth and do not care about living prisoners, I think it would be useless to enter our atmosphere, where they would be vulnerable to our weapons, then they could simply park in the circuit and we hammer with cars.

After watching that cheesy Transformers 3 trailer, this is easily my most anticipated movie of '11. Good thing we wont have to wait until summer for this to drop.
