Associated Press - October 22, 2009 5:44 AM ET

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Baton Rouge officials are warning people not to worry if they see smoke and pyrotechnics around a local city park and a local intersection.

Those are special effects tied to filming for the big-budget science fiction film "Battle: Los Angeles."

The movie's filming will shut down several roads around town through Saturday. Residents in those nearby neighborhoods are getting warning notifications that traffic flow might be disrupted during the work.

"Battle: Los Angeles" stars actor Aaron Eckhart, who also was seen in "The Dark Knight" and "No Reservations." The movie is scheduled for release in 2011.

Aaron Eckhart Love Happens Interview
Jennifer Aniston leads an interesting life

Red Carpet Report: Love Happens (source: USA Today)
Everything Eckhart: Eckhart confesses the real reason he wanted to be in Love Happens: "As an actor I really got to play all parts. It's a love story. It's about grief and healing. It's a great actor's exercise. Plus, OK, I got to kiss Jennifer Aniston. That's really what it's all about. Who's playing the girl?" So is Eckhart the advice-giver in his circle of friends? Not so much, he says. "I like to empower the person to come up with the solution themselves. Everybody knows the answer to the problem, but really it's just listening so that they can talk themselves into the solution and hear it and have that experience. I really try to do that. So I don't try to give advice too much."

Eckhart and Aniston: Secrets to Love (source: Extra)
Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston fall for each other on-screen in the romantic comedy "Love Happens" -- and Aaron tells "Extra" the chemistry comes from not hooking up!

At the film's L.A. premiere, the handsome actor explained why they had such great chemistry. "We did. It's because we didn't sleep together. I think that's the key to a longer and lasting relationship."

Aniston raved about her romantic co-star Aaron Eckhart.

"He's just great and so talented and such a wicked sense of humor," she said, adding facetiously, "I've been lucky. I've really loved everybody that I've worked with ... literally."

I've added more photos to the Love Happens premiere. Here are some great interviews, first Aaron talking about the movie and this tidbit from Jennifer's interview talking about working with Aaron.

Aniston revealed one of the main reasons she agreed to Love Happens was to be able to work with Aaron Eckhart. "I'm such a fan of his,' admitted Aniston. "He has the driest sense of humor. He's so entertaining. He's so into philosophy and psychology, which I love. We can talk for hours. He's a great photographer. He's just interesting. And he's, really, I mean I think he's so absolutely beautiful in this movie. He's just beautiful and funny. He's just a really entertaining and enjoyable person to spend time with."

But unlike every other male she works opposite, there were never any rumors of her dating Eckhart. So, how did she and Eckhart manage to escape the rumormongers? "I know. It's so funny. Someone reminded us that when we were first meeting for lunch, meeting with the director, they took a picture of us in the restaurant and said, 'What's happening, something must be happening? They're having lunch, my God…' But then, yeah, they figured out that we were doing a movie together," recalled Aniston. "I don't know what that is."
