Rihanna Sank My Battleship

Rihanna will make her film debut alongside Alexander Skarsgard  and Taylor Kitsch  in director Peter Berg’s feature-length adaptation of the classic Hasbro game Battleship.  The basic premise centers on a battle over land, sea, and sky against a “superior” alien force.  According to Variety, Kitsch will play a Naval officer with Skarsgard cast as his older brother; no word yet on what role Rihanna has signed on for. 


Berg has already confirmed that, unlike several other summer blockbusters set to come out in 2012, Battleship will not be in 3D ( Thank God ).  The film will instead focus on classic naval warfare and — as Hasbro CEO and producer Brian Goldner told MTV a while back — telling a “unique story.”  Of course, this doesn’t explicitly rule out a conversion to 3D in post-production.
