A script is being written according to an interview with the director Jonathan Liebesman on Collider.com: Interview quote:
“We’ve just started the script now, so that’s where we are. We have just begun the script. Just because I don’t want the studio to get pissed at me, I’m not sure what I can and can’t say about it. But what’s exciting is it sounds like the budget will be as big. They’re really going to make it an event.” I'm sure most couldn't care less and his film output will not titillate all but I quite liked Battle:LA. For those who spit feathers about it, sit down, relax, breathe slowly...then lay back and put that flannel on your forehead . The only flaws in the film were the script and the over-exaggerated camera work. Things that can be worked on for a prospective sequel. It's interesting that Sony hasn't yet taken down the reportthreats.org and unidentifiedenemy.co.uk viral sites. I certainly hope not for the latter as it's useful for my model work! Interesting nonetheless. Of course at this juncture it doesn't mean the sequel will be given the go-ahead and if they want Liebesman for the director's chair. They'll have to wait until he's finished his TMNT film. I think they can certainly show an expanded war and of course one that's focused elsewhere in the world. Perhaps in Europe. I think the film grossed $200 million worldwide and the original title was "World Invasion - ...", so with a greater worldwide perspective (I'm sure the American audience won't mind) there's definitely scope to do more, so who knows? I thought the aliens and their technology were fascinating, original and stood on their own. That's thanks to the British conceptual artist Paul Gerrard who really came up with some (good) bizarre and experimental conceptual stuff. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Battle: UK/London... (just inform the writers we have no Fleet Air Arm and no aircraft carriers).
