As Foy mentioned in his last box office report, Battleship is kicking copious amounts of ass overseas, already racking up a whopping $58 million before it even opens Stateside, and to get you geared up for its May 18th US debut, we have a new clip and two TV spots to share.
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 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.
Look for it on May 18th, 2012, via Universal; and for more in the meantime visit the official Battleship website, “like” Battleship on Facebook, and follow Battleship on Twitter.
