The battle for Earth’s survival begins on July 11, in the year’s #1 sci-fi action thriller Battle: Los Angeles, storming onto Blu-ray and DVD, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
From producer Neal H. Moritz (Fast and the Furious series, xXx) and director Jonathan Liebesman (upcoming Clash of the Titans 2) comes this pulse-pounding tale of a U.S. Marine squadron fighting off hostile alien invaders bent on colonizing our planet, starring Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight) and Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar, Machete).
After dazzling audiences around the globe with its stunning special effects, intense action sequences and a cast that also includes Ramon Rodriguez (Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, The Taking of Pelham 123), Bridget Moynahan (I, Robot, Lord of War), Ne-Yo (Stomp the Yard, Save the Last Dance 2) and Michael Peña (Crash, Million Dollar Baby), Battle: Los Angeles arrives on Blu-ray and DVD ready to shock sci-fi and action fans with eye-popping picture quality, earth-shaking sound and non-stop suspense.
For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world -- Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, and China.
But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces.
As people everywhere watch the world's great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected.
It's up to a Marine staff sergeant (Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they've ever encountered before.
For a limited time the Battle: Los Angeles Blu-ray will include a code to access an exclusive playable game demo of the first-person shooter PS3 - game Resistance 3. The code in-pack can be used to download the Resistance3 demo directly from PlayStation Network.
Resistance 3, the latest installment in the multi-million selling post-apocalyptic franchise, will be available in September from developer Insomniac Games and Sony Computer Entertainment.
In addition to the incredible thrills of the year’s top action/sci-fi film, Blu-ray fans around the world will be the first to sample nearly one half-hour of game play from the upcoming Resistance 3, assuming the role of hero Joseph Capelli as he travels by boat to St. Louis through the flooded and deadly waters of the Mississippi fighting off a relentless alien race, the Chimera.
