Sigh. Sometimes it seems like Hollywood has completely run out of new movie ideas. Take the new movie Battleship by Universal, which will be based on the board game. Yes, we are now basing our movies off board games.
At least it will star the gorgeous Rihanna, making her film debut. It will also star Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights) and Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood), and has director Peter Berg signed on as well.
To be fair, this is not the first movie to be based on a board game. Clue comes to mind. However, at least the game Clue had characters, and a murder mystery to solve. With Battleship, E-5, A-3 does not a movie plot make.
As for what the plot does involve, we know that Kitsch and Skarsgard play brothers and naval officers whose battleships join forces to repel aquatic alien invaders. Board game meets aliens, ok we're intrigued. Battleship is to set sail on May 25, 2012.
With all the water from these ships, someone better get out their umbrella-ella-ella. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
