Aaron Eckhart and Aliens BATTLE: LOS ANGELES

Aliens just love to take out Los Angeles, don’t they?  It seems, in recent memory, anyway, they don’t have any problems taking out the land of milk and Hollywood honeys, either.  Well, they’ve never had to contend with a pissed off Aaron Eckhart, have they?  The guy pretty much wiped out the Mob single handedly, and he did it with half a face.  Imagine the kind of destruction he can cause to bad guys when his looks are intact.

io9 got these shots of the upcoming film BATTLE: LOS ANGELES.  Some of them, the ones with the giant e’splosion, were taken by a local Louisian-ian(?) who described the scene being filmed as a “Mushroom cloud of fire caused when production company explodes bus.”

The film is currently filming in Louisiana under the direction of Jonathan Liebesman (DARKNESS FALLS and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING).  It is set for release on February 18th, 2011.
