New “Battle: Los Angeles” Viral Video and Facebook Game Dan Koelsch, February 17, 2011 The theatrical release of Columbia Pictures’ gritty alien invasion film Battle: Los Angeles is less than a month away, so we should start seeing a lot more content from the studio. Such is the case this week, as we have gotten a new video that fits into the viral campaign, as well as a Facebook game. The new video, seen below, was posted to the film’ Facebook page on Tuesday.
