Surely, aliens being invaded by humans are a new concept, right? Lionsgate and Roadside Attraction are hoping so, as they have acquired US rights to animated 3D feature Battle for Terra.

The film offers the perspective of the aliens whose planet is invaded by humans fleeing a dying Earth. Actors in the project include Evan Rachel Wood, Justin Long, Luke Wilson, Dennis Quaid and many others.

Terra premiered in Toronto last year, marking the directorial debut of Aristomenis Tsirbas.

It will make its debut in the US on May 1 opposite X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.
