Producer Neal Moritz and Columbia Pictures have purchased the spec script Battle: Los Angeles by writer Chris Bertolini (The General's Daughter). The high concept idea follows a platoon of Marines who are doing all they can to defend their homeland during an all-out alien invasion of Los Angeles.
"I love the idea, and I love the script. I like it all," Moritz said to The Hollywood Reporter. "We are going to be in production within six months. What's attractive to me is that it's a huge event movie that can be done at a modest scale."
