Despite the fact that most of the tv spots and other movie-related fare (step forward off a cliff Honda’s Ferris Bueller nonsense) were released online in the days leading up to the Super Bowl the most expensive minutes of airtime certainly gave us all something to talk about last night. In amidst the confused tweets [...]
Things have been looking pretty impressive from Peter Berg’s Battleship ever since we got our first teaser trailer for the film back in the summer last year, followed by a host of more great things since. We got a sneak peek at the Super Bowl TV Spot for the film on Friday, and now we [...]
Universal Studios have released a new TV spot for their new epic summer movie, Battleship. We’ve seen a couple of trailers for the film and I have faith that it’s going to be great (i really hope it is!). Click here to see the rest of our overage of potentially the most expensive movie of [...]
As Wikipedia would have it (and I’m sure you know), “Battleship is an upcoming 2012 science fiction naval war film based on the game of the same name”. A science fiction naval war film to place amongst the illustrious canon of science fiction naval war films, I’m sure. A science fiction naval war film that [...]
Peter Berg’s return behind the camera for a feature film is one that I’ve been waiting a while for, and settling on the Battleship project, the film adaptation of the Hasbro board game, was definitely an interesting choice that a lot of people were surprised by. The concept in itself seemed a little unimaginable. But [...]
Following on from the new trailer that just went live (see it here), we’ve just received some great new images and a new US poster for Battleship which hits 20th April in the UK and 18th in the US. It looks like some of these new images have been taken from the trailer but there’s [...]
This evening has gone completely mental! We we waiting for The Dark Knight Rises trailer and then suddenly a new one for Snow White and the Huntsman pops up then Universal go and do it again and put up the new trailer for Battleship! I’ve placed it below for your viewing pleasure. Let us know [...]
Universal Studios have just released the first featurette for their new movie, Battleship which is set for release next year. In this featurette which has the name ‘real heroes’, we get to hear from the real life US marines that have helped to make the movie. Most of the extras that you’ll see in this [...]
We saw some set images from Universal Pictures’ new $200m movie, Battleship a while back which showed Rihanna in her get up but now, Rihanna Daily (via The Playlist) have released this first official image of every males favourite singer equipped with a massive (no, not an umbrella) machine gun! A couple of weeks ago, [...]
I’ve been looking forward to this one for a long while now although after watching this, I’m not sure what I think! I’ve been wondering how a board game can translate to a movie but here we get our first look as Universal Pictures have released the first trailer for their new movie, Battleship and [...]
We reported at some length back in September of last year on the audacious plans being hatched by Ron Howard, Akiva Goldsmith and Brian Grazer to turn Stephen King’s 7-novel Dark Tower series into a trilogy of feature films, interspersed with two seasons of a television series. Universal were considering funding the project, mindful of [...]
Now that MGM has returned to a more secure footing courtesy of a $500m capital injection last year, they are finding the time to properly trawl through all of their various “stuck in limbo” projects to see what can be dusted off and shocked back to life. MGM has already come on board with Paramount [...]
After cameoing in such films as Paranormal Activity and The Skeleton Key, it looks as though the humble Ouija board is ready for its turn in the limelight. Part of the baffling decision to adapt numerous board games for the big screen, the Ouija board is relatively light on narrative backstory compared to fellow efforts [...]
We’ve been bringing you all manner of casting news of late for “Battleship”, the Universal blockbuster, loosely (and I mean loosely) based on the Hasbro board game. Whereas the board game requires you to guess where your opponents ships are located and try to sink them, the Peter Berg-directed film is about a global alien invasion [...]
Basing an entire movie around a board-game could be a genius idea or it could be shooting yet here we have the first images of Rihanna filming the new movie, Battleship based around the Hasbro board-game about blowing up other ships on D4, A8 and C1. Exciting stuff! It’s being directed by Peter Berg and [...]
I had to double check that today’s date wasn’t April 1st when I read about this. Variety are reporting that the creators of the popular iPhone and iPad game Angry Birds (Edgar Wright compared it’s playability to like being “addicted to crack” in a recent Tweet) are toying with turning the game into a multifaceted [...]
We reported yesterday that the Battleship movie had been budgeted at around $200 million. You may be wondering what Universal could possibly be spending such a large sum of money on, particularly in the instance of a game which could plausibly be played with two sheets of squared paper and a pen, but it certainly doesn’t appear [...]
Universal’s Battleship movie has been raising a few industry eyebrows this week as it is expected to cost in excess of $200 million to make. The studio doesn’t seem to be taking any of the usual measures to counteract the cost, this not being a sequel or having any big names attached to star. The [...]
Music star, Rihanna is set to appear in Universal’s new movie, Vattleship accrding to Variety. This will be the singer’s big screen debut and will also star Alexander Skarsgard and Taylor Kitsch. Battleship will be helmed by Peter Berg who has previously directed Hancock and The Kingdom and is to be based around the Hasbro [...]
Whether or not you buy into the notion of a film based on a board game, Peter Berg’s Battleship is taking shape, adding the curious twist of an alien invasion into the mix. Taylor Kitsch has already jumped on board and now HeatVision are adding a new name to the cast list, one which will [...]
