Summary Aaron Eckhart and the cast of Battle of Los Angele attended the film's premiere.
Eckhart stars as Sgt. Michael Nantz who leads a team of Marines in the fight against alien invaders in the last battleground left, Los Angeles. Eckhart said it was important to make sure a movie filled with aliens and explosions remains grounded in the struggles of the characters. Eckhart stayed in character throughout the shooting of the film and even broke his arm but refused to stop shooting because of the injury. He said he felt that since a Marine wouldnt do, that neither should he.The battle scenes were shot in Louisiana, not Los Angeles but Michelle Rodriguez called the experience of seeing LA recreated gnarly due to realism of the sets and to the extent minor details were recreated. And once the battle scenes began it was easy to get immersed in the environment.
