There she blows! This weekend, Universal will dock Peter Berg‘s Battleship at a theater near you. The film is a live-action adaptation of the popular Hasbro strategy game. It stars Taylor Kitsch as a reluctant hero, who gets caught in the middle of an alien invasion. He’s supported by a cast of familiar faces including True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgard, and Oscar-nominee Liam Neeson.

Oh, Battleship. The “hey-this-is-just-how-Michael-Bay-makes-‘em-right?” potential blockbuster has the unfortunate duty of opening in the wake of The Avengers’ May release, and features a Transformers-like premise without any actual Transformers, just keeps dropping new clips and ads, and yet still looks like a bland rehash of everything from Pearl Harbor to Battle: Los Angeles. Today, we’ve got a new clip featuring a bar-hopping Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker and Alexander Skarsgard. Let the unnaturally orange skin tones begin!
2012′s summer is going to be interesting as many of the big films look like they might not work. Men in Black III is going for another round of re-shoots, and there are a lot of other question marks, as well. Now we have the full trailer for Peter Berg‘s Battleship - which on paper looks dicey – but it’s got scale and a story now. Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, Rhiana, Brooklyn Decker and Alexander Skarsgard star. The film is set to open May 18. Check it out… Continue Reading
It’s hard to know what to make of Battleship – the movie – even after the trailer. And that’s because it’s hard to call the board game (from which the film is derived) plot driven.

No on ei is currently calling out anything resembling numbers, but you know someone’s going to say it, someone’s got to say “you’ve sunk my battleship.” Peter Berg directs Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard, Taylor Kitsch and Brooklyn Decker, and the teaser’s here now.

The first trailer for Adam Sandler and director Dennis Dugan’s latest film, Just Go With It has been released.

It’s official, Battleship has become Transformers on water. Not because it’s also based on a Hasbro toy but because of its casting. Transformers 3 has been the target of a lot of negative press because of Michael Bay’s decision to hire a model as opposed to an experienced actress to play the film’s female lead, and now Battleship‘s following in its footsteps. According to Latino Review, Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker aka Mrs. Andy Roddick has been cast in the film.
Update: Fox just released a statement claiming it was her decision to leave the film.
Now that the dust has settled and we’ve accepted the fact that Megan Fox is no longer a part of the Transformers franchise, lets talk replacements! A few names have already been making the rounds online and it’s time to break down the pros and cons of each candidate. Vote in our poll and let us know who you think has the competitive edge…
