'Battlefield' Casting

Details of the casting of the alien parts for John Travolta's big screen version of L. Ron Hubbard's science-fiction novel Battlefield Earth have come out. According to columnists Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith, those people who are cast as the alien beings (called Terls and Psychlos) will have to be trained to walk on stilts in full, very warm, costumes as well as having to wear hand and finger extensions.
