I guess this movie is going to be a great source of inspiration for our Future Wars games :-*

...these aren't just normal aliens that are out to tear humans apart. They have tactics and weaponry as well and can be considered an extraterrestrial version of the human marine battalion we follow in the movie that's fighting them

Still no teaser or trailer available :-X

Intresting to bad there is no video or any thing out yet
-
There is a 'real' event called the Battle of Los Angeles.
Happened during WW2.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Los_Angeles
This looks very interesting however.
-
Sounds pretty damn sweet. And, I thought no one would ever do a serious, science fiction military movie any time soon. Well, from the sounds of it I've found it.
-
And just in time, it gives me an excuase to get thouse new Empriss US troops
-
You didn't really need an excuse, did you??? lol
-
not really :D
-
Yes i so looking forward to the trailer and what type of aliens, it could bve a "ID4" but with ground battles..
The problem is Alien troops..?
I wish somebody do a plastic boxset of some, maybe like from dristict 9.
Until then its going to be hard to build up a cheap alien force...

2 second clip..Wow
-
Well a 5 secand clips is better then no clip I guess ;D
-
Yes its very short, but shows ita not a straight to dvd type film, so me, i always wanted a alien invsion film, but never got one, the best for action would be District 9, i think thats thank for ground combat alien invasion films really....

How about the COGs (http://www.thewarstore.com/AT43COGS.html)from AT-43?
Until then its going to be hard to build up a cheap alien force...
It depends what style of alien you are looking for and your definition of cheap.
There are lots of plastic clickies around, a choice of plastic aliens from SW and if you prefer metal, you can't find much chepaer than SPUGs.
-
COGS are too much £23.00 for 4 figures, but those spugs may be a nice option, i need to get a pack and see how they paint up, maybe a nice light brown/ sand colour, but the weapons look fine.. Thanks for that

I've got a cog exo-suit as a proxy for the D9 suit, nice and all but as set, very expensive to build up a sizeable force.

Depends where and when you buy 'em. ;)
The Armybox is good value and at Salute Simple Miniature Games will probably be doing one of their "buy N and save £X" deals if you can wait one month?

Just found this preview of the plot:
On February 25th 1942, just after 2 am, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed something in the skies above Los Angeles.
US army planes scrambled to intercept, while anti-aircraft guns fired over 1,500 rounds for more than two hours.
The object was never hit, then it disappeared. The president was briefed and ordered an investigation.
Finally the government dismissed the incident and the story was forgotten. The truth behind these real events has never been explained.
Meteors shoot into the ocean a couple of miles off the coast of Los Angeles. Minutes later, beachgoers witness a strange alien like army oozing out of the water. These aliens are nasty, they’re fast, and they kill on site.
Within seconds they’re shredding the suntanning populace to pieces and moving into the city of Santa Monica.
Marine Sgt. Nantz (Aaron Eckhart) leads his new platoon against a surprise attack on Los Angeles, attempting to rescue civilians in Santa Monica and destroy the hub of the enemy’s mysterious power grid, while similar epic battles are waged across the world in other cities. - Movienewz
Starring: Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Pena, Bridget Moynahan, Adetokumboh M'Cormack, Ne-Yo, Ramon Rodriguez, Taylor Handley, Cory Hardrict, Jadin Gould, Bryce Cass, Joey King

God bless quicktime!
Looks better then Skyline!
-

New link available. Some sort of biomechanical alien soldier, lol
-
It looks sooooo much better than skyline, though honestly, the music in the trailer was incredibly annoying.
Also, can we please note the fact that this is the second time in like 15 years that the USMC has fought alien invaders in/over LA? Will Smith must have AT LEAST made Major by this time, and he is going to be PISSED.

On the up side we did a lot better job of rebuilding LA then we did New Orleans after the last invasion.

Here you go ;D

And it looks blury but awsome! :D Who wants to sculpt him now so that my Emppress Mod US have some one to shoot at
-

We as in the Marine Corps or as in the US? And in case of the former, or even the latter, are you a Marine, Moody?
-
Sorry Horarius no, I was a parachute infantry man in the 82nd airborne and am currently a student.
-
The international teaser trailer is now available, with some new scenes:

Hey no need to apologize- good on you for serving with the 82nd, a fine unit with an illustrious history! If I get selected, I'll be going to the Marine Corps Officer Candidate School come January (not yet a Marine), so its always interesting to come across people in any of the services. So thanks for your service to the country.
And as a side note, the Aliens have made the mistake of landing near Camp Pendleton so maybe next time they'll head for North Carolina and make the mistake of getting near to Fort Bragg ;)
-
Don't miss the third (and I think, the last) trailer. It's awesome :-*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_pAsPPDdC8
-
Yep, I'll be seeing this in the theater.
-
Looking awesome!
-
I salivate intensely in anticipation. :-*
-
Sick shit.
Anyone care to speculate on what the aliens are, now that we've caught a glimpse of them?
Machines?
Humanoids in power armor?
Insects?
Silicon based life?
-
Power armor of some kind in any case, also orbiting missiles, which are a bit out there but not all that extreme. (they could be orbiting lasers) For a advanced alien race they seem quite low tech to me. Which of course makes it a better war movie.
-
What I find to be most cool is that the 'first' Battle of Los Angeles in WWII was a cover story for a mass ufo sighting that occurred.
-
only that sux about this movie is the release date 3.11.11. that waaaaaaay to far off :'( :'( :'(

That'd be March 11th not November 3rd. Still too far away? ;)
-
I think the aliens look like "tech-organic". Just watch the final part, with the alien "ship"? rising out of the debris. It looks like it absorbed part of those debris...
Anyway...looking at my miniatures, I'll use both Therians from AT-43
(http://www.wargames.watkins-family.co.uk/AT-43-therians-001.jpg)
and Marro from Heroscape:
(http://www.jugandoando.com/Images/Pictures/Heroscape_marro_warriors.jpg)
Maybe they'll be 2 races...or unarmored and armored elements of the same species. What do you guys think?
-

you sir have just made my night :D, why they write it that way I'll never know ::)
-
You can say what you want about alien invasion movies, no matter how bad they are, they´ll promise a lot of thrill and action and I will definitely watch this one too. Hurrah!!!
-
Here's a little screencap that I made from the Youtube trailer:
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/Forums/BLosAngeles.jpg)
A alien squad is advancing, in the middle there's some sort of flying support weapon. In the next scene in the trailer, it flies and launches a swarm of missiles.

no no no
day month year, day month year :D :D
and that support droid looks cool as

The lastest trailer was mind blowing, i remember the trailers for starship troops and seening aliens what was not a guy in a rubber suit.....
Watching the trailer my thoughts on the invasion and aliens ( information is from my thoughts and the trailer only no inside info etc )
1. Aliens land in water only in drop drops
2. I have a feeling its based around water, landing in it, some borg like egg thing in undeground water area
3. Aliens legs and arms are robotic, but with a large head or helmet
4. If it was a power stuit, the alien would be in all the suit, as i talked about arms and legs, maybe the Alien is very small
5. If a robot race, why land in water etc..?
So here is my own thoughts...
Aliens are a small underwater type race, maybe here for our water, maybe theres is nearly out, so they build the suits and craft to find planets with water in.
-
Sorry pressed the wrong button..!!!
As i was saying, Aliens come in drop pods, break hard, thats the smoke ring and land in water, the Aliens are like " Goldfish" meaning they live inside the large helmet and control the suit etc, that seems new for a movie and different in places.... but its about the water....?
Trailer looks amazing, ad i cannot wait to see this grittly invasion film, the questions is do the human win..? does the aliens just leave in the end, can the human race really fight them like in ID4, or a ending like skyline and people may not like the bleak ending....
Time will tell let all get ready to fight for the planet.......
-
Thats as good a guess as any, I just cant wait to see the film. Being a former Infantry man myself, it seems to be more along the vain of what I am used to when it comes to conflect.
That up in the air stuff is for the birds.. lol
-
We see a lot of the aliens in the new trailer, and it is good to see they don't disappoint!
What is happening in the final bit though, Looks bad!
Can't wait for this, looks very good!
-
The movie looks cool and I will see it for sure.
Just luv this kind of Sci Fi...
All will be revealed in the movie, I am sure, but I interpreted the water landings as an alien amphibious assault.
:)
-
Australian trailer, with some new scenes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THwd743gwGo
And they say the aliens "seem to be mechanical".
-
Someone found a viral site with information about the aliens :D
http://unidentifiedenemy.com/
-
Looks awesome, thanks for the site and trailer! :-*
-
And here's a first look at the aliens beneath the armour/implants:

humm, nice looking aren't they :o
-
Its no surprise to see an increase in alien movies. Ever since Space experts stated we may discover or make contact with aliens within 25 years, and Steven Hawkings said that broadcasting ourselves into the universe may be a dangerous thing to do in case of hostile aliens, this sort of thing has been brought back onto the market.
Although I do remember having some debates with a science freak over alien life, and he stated that it would be easier for aliens to take resources from gas giants etc etc than invade a planet like ours xD.
Though he never really considered Imperial conquest or just warlike cultures! Which would be hilarious if such a thing did happen to exist and pick a fight with humanity.
I do like the look of this film, been ages since anything looked decent was advertised. The only other film I have an interest in is 'monsters' but that film has been really elusive lately.
