Battle of Los Angeles Movie...Disclosure babysteps?

I ran across this new movie in the works while checking out a movie website:

"Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight) will star in Battle: Los Angeles, a sci-fi action feature that Jonathan Liebesman will direct for Columbia.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the story was written by Chris Bertolini, and revolves around a Marine platoon's encounter in the battle on the streets of Los Angeles against an alien invasion.

Eckhart will play the platoon leader in the film, which has yet to set a start date."




Sounds cool...I wonder if this new movie is based on the actual "Battle of Los Angeles" that occurred in 1942?

"Unidentified objects were reported over Los Angeles during the night of February 24 and the early morning hours of February 25, 1942. Air raid sirens were sounded throughout Los Angeles County at 2:25 a.m. and a total blackout was ordered. Thousands of air raid wardens were summoned to their positions.

At 3:16 a.m. on February 25, the 37th Coast Artillery Brigade began firing 12.8-pound anti-aircraft shells into the air at the object(s); over 1400 shells would eventually be fired [1]. Pilots of the 4th Interceptor Command were alerted but their aircraft remained grounded. The artillery fire continued sporadically until 4:14 a.m. The objects were said to have taken about 20 minutes to have moved from over Santa Monica to above Long Beach. The "all clear" was sounded and the blackout order lifted at 7:21 a.m.

In addition to several buildings damaged by friendly fire, three civilians were killed by the anti-aircraft fire, and another three died of heart attacks attributed to the stress of the hour-long bombardment." - Wikipedia

Disclosure is not going to happen. The only way we get disclosure is on a one to one person basis. Information is power therefore the ones who have it will have nothing to gain by sharing it with the rest of us.

But hollywood does tend to give some clues evry once in a while, remember Close Encounters?, that movie was as close as you will see to a dramatization of a real event, and nothing happened after.

We can wait forever, or try to make some sense of the information we have and produce our own disclosure.

Every time I see that picture I am Wow'ed.
It's beauuuuuuuutiful.
This movie sounds pretty good.
Especially if it's based on this picture, and set in the time too.

More evil aliens?

I think that's why I love Close Encounters of the Third Kind - so much. No evil aliens.

Why would this movie be preparing us for "disclosure," when "The Day The Earth Stood Still" wouldn't be? Or how about cartoon aliens on every cereal box and TV show on Earth, ever, all the time?

No, people like aliens. Since we don't have the Nazis to fight in movies as much anymore, it's either aliens, zombies, drug lords, or serial killers. Without those, there would be no movie or TV industry.

Hey you never know. 2012 and then an alien invasion movie.

Nice. I doubt it's anything other than media cashing in on hype.

It'll be the disclosure of another crud alien invasion movie. From what I've read the film will be contemporary so it will have no relation to the Battle of Los Angeles incident.

MAN! These threads are annoying...

Aliens on TV? Disclosure?

FOXNEWS makes fun of the Anukookies! Disclosure?

Discover/History has a rehashed 20 year old garbage on 7 nights a week! Disclosure?

Was it Quisp? Because there's a little alien on that box that looks suspiciously like a Grey alien from Zeta Reticuli. Or Gidney and Cloyd from Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Superman is disclosure!

Floyd and Gidney, didn't they have that deadly 'Scrootch Gun'! I think we need a disclosure investigation on why we don't have one!

It was found in the Roswell wreckage by Philip Corso, and later given to Bell Labs, but they were unable to duplicate it without a specific isotope of Element 115 that allowed the creation of the "freezing" spacetime bubble.

That's what I heard. From the voices in my head.

Hank McCoy, whether or not you're annoyed personally with media coverage or the dearth of it, is irrelevant to the ongoing controversy of disclosure and how it is meted out.

Burgeoning news reportage, proliferation of documentaries, movies, ubiquity of cameras/video cameras and mass sightings are acclimating the naive.

You may want to reread my post, mate.

My annoyance is with the threads claiming that every fart in the wind is a step closer to this mythical place called "Disclosure" that will -never- come considering no one can ever agree what the definition of it is, nor do they have faith in the entity charged with bringing it to them.

Hollywood fictionalizations of actual events only serve to further misinform if they serve any purpose other than sheer entertainment.

I believe, even if they were to come out into the open and enslave humanity, that the "leaders" would continue to deny that they exist or or that anything is known of them.

No need to reread your post mate, you said "these threads are annoying....aliens in movies/disclosure?"

You were including this thread, this content (alien movie) hence my response:

Gawd I hope "they" don't screw up the remake of "the Day The Earth Stood Still".

If "they" sensationalize it and make it another invasion take over movie - - I'm gonna be pissed.

Of course its going to be bad.. they put Keanu Reeves in it.

Lame Hollywood Cash In = Disclosure? Nope!

It's not even a desensitizing measure. In short - Aliens sell! That's the only reason we get influxes in it. Aliens are in vogue, they are the new black. Next year it will be something else once movie executives have milked it enough for public Joe tire of all the regurgitated themes.

Think influx of Penguin movies for example... Happy Feet, March of the Penguins, Surfs Up... Was it disclosure that penguins can talk English, Boogie Down and Ride Surfboards? Nope! Just copycat cash-in's because it was 'hot' and sold units. The same applies to the Aliens!

Annee,
From what I can gather they made the message more 'GREEN' than what the original movie was. Just another propaganda movie for those that already own the'Carbon Credit' industry and are going to force us to buy from them!
