* FollowTheLeader: Creator/SonyPictures [[http://www.deadline.com/2010/08/battle-over-l-a-alien-invasion-films/ accused]] the Brothers Strause of trying to capitalize on their upcoming movie ''Film/BattleLosAngeles'', which also features an alien invasion in L.A. Sounds like typical overreaction to DuelingMovies, right? Not as much when you consider the fact that some of the FX for ''Battle: Los Angeles'' was done by Creator/{{Hydraulx}}, a company ''owned'' by the Brothers Strause; ''Skyline's'' entire production timeline (from concept to completion) fitting ''entirely'' within the production schedule of ''BLA'', and ''Skyline's'' scriptwriters both being Hydraulx FX technicians who had no prior screenwriting experience.
** The following March, Sony dismissed the arbitration as, after discovery, they were satisfied that none of the effects made for ''Battle'' were used in ''Skyline''. For their part the Brothers Strause simply said they were glad to put it all behind them.
