The film in question is Battle: LA, an alien invasion flick due out next year. March next year, to be exact, which gives us a pretty probable guess at when Resistance 3 will be hitting. The reason for the shameless bit of cinematic pluggery is simple. Battle: LA is being released by Columbia Pictures, and Columbia Pictures is owned by Sony. The joys of being a cross-media giant with a promotional pi🔯e for every 🍌finger.

Of course, a sci-fi movie pitching hum💎an marines against marauding aliens on the streets of contemporary LA (which B: LA conveniently is) is always going to pull in a gamer crowd. There's a certain demographic cross-over you can just rely on. But it seems no-one's taking any chances. At a recent Comic Con panel, director Jonathon Liebesman made a point of communicating that the film is very much inspired by first-person shooters. Apparently becaus♔e there are first-person bits in it. And shooting.
To be fair, cinema was using the first-person perspective long before video games were, so we're hardly talking about a radical cinematic evolution here. But hey, if it gives the studio anotherbulletpoint with which to entice its desired moviegoers, andisn't another cavalcade of cinematic atrocity like the first-person bit in the Doom movie was, then good times all round. Though whether there was any pre-Comic-Con pressure from Sony to bring inmore shooter fans so that they could gaze upon the glory of its giant Resistance 3 billboard (and the probable load of game trailers before the movie starts), we couldn't possibly speculate.

If so, someone's getting a memo on Monday morning. The games Liebesman referenced? Sony properties were they? Or perhaps asafe,console-neutralsci-fi shooterseries, like Half-Life or Crysis? No. He mentioned the very-much-in-bed-with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft Call of Duty. And then Halo.
Andwhen further reiterating the important FPS message,star Michelle Rodriguez said thaꦍt when watching footage from the film, she had 'literally grabbed my h💮ands like an Xbox'.
Palms. Faces. Good friends they are.
