    Rihanna Boards Battleship

    DateTue, July 27, 2010

    Some are reacting to this in a "What the fuck?" fashion. Let us remind everyone, we've got Peter Berg adapting Battleship, the Hasbro board-game into a $200 million summer tentpole and injecting aliens into the mix. When one reflects on that, this is arguably the least-crazy decision made so far.

    The trades report R&B recording artist Rihanna will make her acting debut in the feature. No word on who she's playing – a fellow Naval officer along with co-stars Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard and Tom Arnold or maybe one of the aliens.

    Honestly don't have a gage on Rihanna, her potential acting abilities (or lack thereof) and her music. I approach her in this flick the same as I would an unknown.

    Production is expected to start up fairly soon.
