Battle: Los Angeles Gets a Rewrite

Every script in Hollywood gets rewritten once or twice (or a dozen times) from the time the studio buys it and the final “cut” is yelled on the movie set, so it’s no surprise that Chris Bertolini’s original screenplay for “Battle: Los Angeles” is currently being rewritten by another scribe. I just hope they don’t change it TOO much.

Via THR:

Scott Silver has been hired to rewrite “Battle: Los Angeles” for Columbia.

The studio in April picked up Chris Bertolini’s original screenplay, about an alien invasion pulverizing its way across L.A. Original Films’ Ori Marmur and Columbia’s Sam Dickerman brought in the material for Original’s Neal Moritz to produce.

Aaron Eckhart is attached to star as a Marine platoon commander in the action film, with Jonathan Liebesman (”The Killing Room”) attached to direct.

You would have to HATE sci-fi to think the premise as mentioned above isn’t totally cool. In which case, you’re reading the wrong site, because there’s absolutely nothing about “Battle: Los Angeles” that shouldn’t get your sci-fi geek cred buzzing with anticipation.
