Peter Berg Reviews, Interviews & More

Battleship director Peter Berg has no problem expressing his feelings about war. In a recent interview for the movie, Berg went on a rant about the political situation in the Middle East and grilled a 25-year-old Israeli reporter for his lack of military service. It was awkward. Check out the video below.

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...

2008's Hancock, which made over $600 Million globally, was Will Smith's last huge hit. Since then he made Seven Pounds and has mostly been involved in Men in Black 3, which will eventually hit theaters this May.  There was talk of a Hancock sequel around the time...

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...

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. It involves calling out numbers, which leads to hits and misses. Here there's an intergalactic threat, and battleships. No on ei is currently calling out anything resembling numbers, but...

- After four years and at least two attached directors, the attempt to bring Dune - Frank Hebert's science fiction classic (and first of a series) - to the big screen again have crumbled, reports Deadline Hollywood. Both Peter Berg and Pierre Morel were attached to direct during the course of development. Deadline's story features a hopeful producer, and (at least) a...

Sam Worthington should watch his back because Canadian actor Taylor Kitsch is slowly but surely moving in on his action hero turf. Last year he starred in the coveted role of Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he's currently shooting the Disney flick John Carter of Mars, and now he's about to sink your...

It's already been confirmed that there will be a live action adaptation of the popular board game Battleship. Many people including myself have been reluctant from the start, so Universal sent a group of journalists to the high seas alongside director Peter Berg to get the inside scoop on what their trying to pull off.

First off all, why are we making a movie based on the board game Battleship? The news has been out for a while, and just when you think you can settle into the ridiculousness that is this adaptation something else comes along that's even more disturbing. According to the folks over at Latino Review a break has been made in the plot of the upcoming Peter Berg film and it's so outlandish yet...

Do you feel the shock waves flowing through the geek kingdom right now? I do, and their all stemming from the reports that director Peter Berg has dropped out of the highly anticipated remake of Dune. The film has been in development for a very long time, and there haven't been that many production updates since it's announcement a while ago. With Berg off the case,...

Director Shawn Levy, who is best known for his work on the Night at the Museum franchise, has got a new gig. According to Yahoo, Levy has snagged the project Real Steel out of the hands of fellow director Peter Berg. Berg was initially set to helm the film, but decided to move on leaving the position open for Levy. What is Real Steel...

Shortly after two writers were hired to pen the script for Hancock 2, director Peter Berg has confirmed the film's main cast. Over at MTV, they recently spoke to Berg about the sequel and whether or not all the original stars would make a return. Will Smith's appearance is a given, and at this point so is Charlize Theron's, so Jason Bateman can't be too far behind can...

Do we need a follow up to last year's Hancock? I mean really? Can't we all agree that it was an OK movie, and move on? According to the SciFi Wire, the film's director Peter Berg has more story to tell, and he's spilling the beans on Hancock 2. If you haven't seen the film already, the rest of this post is filled with potential spoilers. More...

Someone please release me from this black whole where creativity and innovation don't exist!
