Aaron Eckhart was jealous of his 'Love Happens' co-star Jennifer Aniston.

The 'Dark Knight' actor admits that although he enjoyed working with the actress, her easy performance made him more aware of his own shortcomings.

He said: "Jen's such a better actor than I am. She's so effortless all the time. I really get jealous of people like Jen because they seem just to do it. You know what I mean? And her timing and how playful she is, and yet can turn on a dime and just be so thoughtful. I don't know.

I go out on a limb in saying that, but this movie is

"I guess my process might be a little bit more laborious than hers. I don't know her process, but she seemed to have it at her fingertips at all times."

The actor is set to start work on 'Battle: Los Angeles' and has high hopes for the movie after undergoing intensive preparation training.

He added: "It's going to be outrageous. This movie's going to be so great. I go out on a limb in saying that, but this movie is. We've trained hard for it. I'm coming dead right off boot camp into it. I'm going to start tomorrow. The director, Jonathan Liebesman, is great. We've got a great shooter and he's going to do it like Black Hawk Down meets Alien, so it's going to be real Marine stuff. We have been in boot camp for three weeks. We know our stuff and he's going to film it in a very documentary style. So it's going to be no ordinary aliens movie, I guarantee you that."
