Peter Berg’s BATTLESHIP, an adaptation of the famously boring game, has been doing the rounds on the web recently after an official trailer revealed what looked like a video game on fast forward. The plot is reminiscent of the many, many ‘apocalyptic alien invasion’ movies that clouded 90s cinema.
But, more importantly, the film has spawned yet another image of Rihanna suggestively gripping a phallic object. This time, she has swapped her latex body tape for military garb to take her place on the set of Battleship. Rihanna is set to play a weapons specialist (and no doubt a hard-ass GI-feMALE who takes no prisoners).
Peter Berg, best known for his drunkard-superhero story, HANCOCK, has kept tight lipped on the project. All we know is, there weren’t any aliens in our dusty plastic box of BATTLESHIP. Read on for the official synopsis:
Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Based on Hasbro’s classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper’s fiancée; Alexander Skarsgard as Hopper’s older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper’s crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone’s superior (and Sam’s father), Admiral Shane.
BATTLESHIP is set for release May 2012. Check out the trailer below:
