EXCLUSIVE CLIP: Creating 'Battle: Los Angeles' in Louisiana

By

'Battle: Los Angeles' invades your living room/portable device on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download today, and we've got exclusive bonus features clips showing just how the battle was created in a city nowhere near the City of Angels!

Filmed in Baton Rouge and Shreveport, Louisiana, the production crew labored to make the streets resemble Santa Monica, CA -- and they discovered that the best way to achieve authenticity was to add plenty of palm trees and telephone poles! The resulting look impressed even the toughest of judges: Aaron Eckhart.

"They did a really great job; a lot of fun," said Eckhart.

'Battle: Los Angeles' follows a group of soldiers (including Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez and Ne-Yo) paired with civilian survivors (including Bridget Moynahan and Michael Pena) who must find their way to safety in Santa Monica, CA after alien forces destroy major cities around the globe – and Los Angeles is one of the last cities left standing. Can they survive long enough to figure out how to defeat the relentless enemy?
