Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar, Lost) plays the role of an Air Force Tech Sergeant in �World Invasion: Battle Lost Angeles.�
Fresh from her mission in the moon Pandora in James Cameron�s �Avatar,� Michelle Rodriguez now plays Air Force Tech Sergeant Elena Santos, who becomes a key ally for Staff Sargeant Nantz (Aaron Eckhart) and his platoon, in Columbia Pictures� new sci-fi action thriller �World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles.�
�She sees everything go off on the radars,� Rodriguez says of her character.. Once the platoon finds itself battling extra-terrestrial forces, �she is one of the first on the scene to track them down and find out what they are and how they tick.�
In the film, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world - Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China for years. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world�s great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It�s up to a Marine staff sergeant and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they�ve ever encountered before.
Being Air Force, Rodriguez�s character takes some ribbing from her Marine counterparts. �Marines consider themselves the elite group of all the forces,� she says. And maybe rightfully so: �They feel they train the hardest and they do a lot with the little they have. My character, a tech sergeant, they call her �pogue�� � that is, non-infantry, as opposed to themselves, the guys on the front lines, the grunts. But as they continue their way through LA, she will earn the Marines� respect.
When it came to real life, the shoe was on the other foot, as Rodriguez took naturally to the military training, according to the film�s senior military technical advisor, Jim Dever. �Michelle Rodriguez is incredible. She�s a fine actress and knows herself around weapons. She was always safe with her M4, and she wants to get everything right. It got to the point where I didn�t even have to suggest the way someone might do something in real life � she�d be watching the rear of the formation walk a couple steps, turn around, check, walk � doing it just right without me telling her.�
Rodriguez is a versatile actress known for the ability to combine her �tough girl� physicality with a natural beauty and unforced sex appeal. Rodriguez was last seen in Robert Rodriguez�s �Machete� opposite Danny Trejo and Jessica Alba and James Cameron�s $200 million science fiction epic, �Avatar.�
Opening across the Philippines on March 16, �World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles� is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
