Dark Knight star Aaron Eckhart is set to topline his first big action movie - the sci-fi flick Battle: Los Angeles - according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The actor is set to play the leader of a marine platoon, who battles an alien invasion on the streets of the LA.
Jonathan Liebesman (Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) is set to direct for Columbia Pictures, whilst Neal Moritz - who bought us The Fast and the Furious - will produce.
Talking about the film earlier this year, Moritz told THR: "I love the idea, and I love the script. I like it all... What's attractive to me is that it's a huge event movie that can be done at a modest scale."
