Eckhart Set To Whoop Alien Ass

Aaron Eckhart has been tapped to star in Battle: Los Angeles, a sci-fi action pic about a group of Marines who face off against an extraterrestrial invasion in New York. Okay, no, it's set in Los Angeles. The movie will be directed by Jonathan Liebesman, who brought us the sequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake a couple years ago. Kind of a goofy title, no? Anyway, it's good to see Eckhart getting some higher-profile roles after his turn as Harvey Dent/Two-Face in this past summer's The Dark Knight.
