I want Battleship to be crazy, ridiculous, and (most importantly) fun. Basically the Transformers experience with a higher ceiling. I see that potential in the trailers we have seen so far, but there is no footage that cannot be made better by enthusiastic Japanese voiceover. A Japanese trailer for Battleship hit the web over the weekend with new footage. My optimism is not greater, but sustained at a high level.
Paramount is billing the board game adaptation as “an epic action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force.” Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna, and Liam Neeson star in the Peter Berg-directed feature. Battleship opens May 18, 2012. Hit the jump to watch the new trailer, plus a director’s commentary on a previous trailer.
Japanese trailer via Bleeding Cool:
IGN sat down with Berg to talk about the last Battleship trailer. It serves as a nice jumping-off point for a 17-minute conversation about the characters, the story, Berg’s admiration for the military, as well as the extraterrestrial elements and the scope of the movie.
Official synopsis:
Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Based on 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 fiancée; 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.

This just keeps looking worse with every trailer.
The more I see of the Battleship movie, the more excited I am. Peter Berg is talented and out of all of his movies, only Hancock was disappointing (not his fault, the script was In development Hell for years before getting made). As a summer movie, this will be entertaining and more importantly fun. Something the Transformers sequels lacked considerably.
What the hell does this have to do with the board game? Couldn’t they at least try a naval warefare movie?
Yeah, I can see why this isn’t on collider’s most anticipated blockbuster list. Doesn’t fit “blockbuster ” at all. I’m sure “Brave” and “Gravity” are bigger budgeted and more epic in scale than this .
the japanese guy at the end saying “battre ship” is the best part of the whole trailer
There is the part of me that wants to see the big dumb popcorn flick so bad, but the inclusion of the truly repulsive Rhianna is just a complete and absolute turn off, and a sign of how this movie is being brought together.
Hear, hear
Rihanna? Really ? I’m pretty sure she will get herself naked before the end of the movie. She excels in that.
Rihanna & Brooklyn Dekker! Holy shit! This movie I going to win all the Oscars.
