Comic Con: Interview With Battle: Los Angeles Director Jonathan Liebesman

For all that we've seen so far at Comic Con for Battle: Los Angeles, be it the viral campaign, the three new photos, or even the panel footage, the film remains somewhat of a mystery. Obviously the film belongs to the classic Sci-fi staple that is alien invasion, but what makes it different then any of the hundreds we have already seen? In situations like these, it's helpful to sit down with the director and talk things out and that's exactly what I did.

Jonathan Liebesman, who's previous work includes The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and Darkness Falls, was kind enough to spend a few minutes with me discussing his vision for the film, what makes it unique, how he came to the project and his influences is making it. Check out the interview below.
