So this is where marketing is headed…trailer commentaries? Good lord!
IGN has corralled BATTLESHIP director Peter Berg, apparently away from a JD bottle, to introduce and comment on the trailer for his mega-action epic. In fact, it’s a lengthy 15 minute sit-down, during which many interesting factoids regarding the making of the film are shared. Learn about all the alien-mythology germane to this particular story and how the human characters plan to deal with it. I jest, but it’s actually a pretty entertaining listen.
Docking May 18th:
BATTLESHIP is an epic-scaled action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Inspired by 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 fiancee; 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.
Rihanna!
