In the upcoming Battle: Los Angeles, you will get to see Aaron Eckhart in a way you've never seen before. Whether you know him as Nick Naylor from Thank You For Smoking or, more likely, Harvey Dent from The Dark Knight, he's never been one to star as the military man, but that's exactly what you'll see in Jonathan Liebesman's film

Starring as Staff Sergeant Nantz, a lifelong marine on the cusp of retirement before the alien invasion brings him back into service full time, Eckhart leads a group of soldiers that include actors such as Michelle Rodriguez and Michael Peña, into a firefight across the city of L.A. Check out my interview with the actor below where we talk about his character's back story, preparing for the role and the challenges involved in making this movie.
