If you’ve ever needed more examples, more indications that Hollywood is out of ideas, and is a generally a cesspool where they go to die – here’s number 10,082. Rihanna is going to be in the movie adaptation of Battleship.
The movie adaptation of Battleship. The board game, where you call out tepid letter and number combinations until something exciting happens. This’ll be alongside the big-screen adaptations of Candyland, Monopoly, the Magic-8 Ball, and the Viewmaster. Not only are they making a movie out of it, they’ve cast it with tertiary television characters – Alexander Skaarsgard, Taylor Kitsch, and now Rihanna. I don’t know if a 90-foot screen will be able to take Rihanna’s massive forehead, but Godspeed to the scientists who’ll have that coordinate that job.
The plot? A fleet of Navy vessels will have to battle aliens. I’d be amazed if this movie makes it out of development hell, because if aliens are invading the earth, and they have problems dealing with naval battleships, they probably shouldn’t be invading other planets.
“Admiral Zardoz, there’s a ship heading straight for us!!!”
“How fast is it going?!”
“3 knots.”
“…….”
“…….”
“Call Rihanna. She’s one of us.”
Or something similar. You can look forward to Battleship in theaters the same week you hear the sweat pounding of the hoofs of the four horsemen, coming to take you to 2012.

Daniel Craig Dragon Tattoo is a new mystery movie. The film is a screen adaption of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo with actor Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig will be playing a journalist in a Dragon Tattoo movie full of suspense.
Craig will be playing journalist Mikael Blomkvist, an investigative journalist who finds himself in the thick of a dangerous mystery involving the disappearance nearly 40 years earlier of a wealthy industrialist’s niece. It is unknown if the character’s name, nationality and the story’s Swedish setting will change for the American adaptation, to be written by screenwriter Steve Zaillian.
Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, ruthless computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate.
When the pair link Harriet’s disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. However, the Vanger’s are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

Rihanna is ready for her close-up. The Barbadian singer, who was nominated this year for an Emmy for acting in the ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit ‘Shy Ronnie,’ is ready to make her big-screen debut, signing on to star in Universal’s ‘Battleship,’ directed by Peter Berg (‘Hancock’) and co-starring Alexander Skarsgard (‘True Blood’) and Taylor Kitsch (‘Friday Night Lights’).
Though it is unclear what role Rihanna will play, ‘Battleship,’ based on the Hasbro board game, will be a live-action flick that stars Kitsch, as a naval officer, and his brother (Skarsgard), who lead a ship to fight against a superior force across the seas, in the skies and on land. The film, written by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber (‘Whiteout’), is currently set for release on May 25, 2012.
Like with Mariah Carey and Alicia Keys, Rihanna’s transition into movies comes after years of success as a musician. Releasing her debut album, ‘Music of the Sun,’ in 2005, the now 22-year-old hit her career stride in 2007 with the release of her third album, ‘Good Girl Gone Bad,’ which spawned eight singles that all charted in the top 20 positions of the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved platinum status in more than a dozen countries.
Her most recent album, ‘Rated R,’ released in November 2009, earned her the highest first week sales of any of her releases, selling 181,000 copies and bowing at No. 4 on the charts. The platinum-certified disc has produced the hits ‘Hard’ featuring Young Jeezy, ‘Russian Roulette’ and ‘Rude Boy,’ which held the top spot on the chart for five consecutive weeks.
Is Rihanna Headed For Movie Stardom?
Jul 27th
Pop superstar Rihanna has just signed a deal to make her big-screen acting debut … in a film based on a board game! No, it’s not Candyland.
The movie is going to be “Battleship,” and it will be based on the classic, Hasbro board game. The film will be directed by Peter Berg (“Hancock”) and will co-star Taylor Kitsch (“Friday Night Lights”) and “True Blood” hottie, Alexander Skarsgard. The two men will play brothers and sailors who attempt to fend off alien invaders. This will all occur, presumably, upon the titular battleship.
According to Variety, Rihanna’s deal was sealed on Monday, yet her part is yet to be determined. But based on some of the get-ups she’s parading around in during her “Last Girl on Earth” tour, she’d make a pretty fierce alien queen.
Rihanna is also up to her elbows planning gal pal Katy Perry’s bachelorette party. “It’s taking up way more time then than my tour,” Rihanna told “Access Hollywood.”
“It’s so much pressure. Her wedding (to Russell Brand) is probably going to be the best wedding I’ve ever been to and now I have to match the bachelorette party to that.”
Katy Perry herself has a suggestion for Rihanna. “I want her to strip at my bachelorette party,” Perry told Chicago’s KISS-FM radio show. “(I want to see) the whole bit. The whole bit…She’s hot, I love her.”

Gears of War Movie Back to Script Work
Jul 27th
Gears of War 3 might be on track to come out on the expected dates in April 2011 but it seems that the Gears of War movie, that fans have been waiting for since the first video game became an instant success on the Xbox gaming platform, is having some issues at the moment. Reports from Comic Con say that Cliff Bleszinski is now aiming to get more work done on the script of the movie and make sure that the changes bring down the estimated cost of about 100 million dollars.
It seems that the current change was a direct result of previous director Len Wiseman leaving the project. The script he was working off was closer to 2012 than to a straight action flick and Bleszinski, the creative mind behind the Gears of War trilogy, says that he is more interesting in making a movie that feels like District 9, the out of nowhere science fiction hit that arrived during the summer of 2009. The initial cost of the movie meant that many studios, maybe fearful of getting another video game to movie flop, were reluctant to actually green light the development.
Gears of War 3 was first show during the show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, where an official trailer was first shown and the developers at Epic Games quickly confirmed reports that the game would be out in April 2011. The developers have also announced that the third game in the series would offer gamers a four player cooperative mode, encouraging them to work together in order to get through the story element of the game.
New characters, two of them female, will be introduced and the game will aim to answer most of the questions fans have about the Gears of War world. There will also be new weapons and new mutated enemies and the multiplayer will allow gamers to play as the Locust against a human team.
CONFIRMED: Mjolnir Movie Toy for Marvel’s THOR Revealed at Comic Con
Jul 27th
This year’s Hasbro Comic Con booth revealed many surprises for Marvel fans. The action figures of Captain America, Thor, Loki and Odin for the Captain America and THOR movies were the probably the most unnoticed by the teeming masses. The most noticeable were the three giant display of the Iron Man 2 armor, Captain America shield and Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir. I recently received word from one of the Hasbro representatives who was working the booth at this year’s Con that the Thor display showed the actual Mjolnir toy which will be released in stores to correlate with the film.
The hammer is slightly smaller in scale (and noticeably thinner) than the actual prop used for the film. The Rune-style etchings on the hammer match the ones in the film, as well. The button located near the top of the handle emits “thunder” and striking sound effects when activated:

What we have yet to see is the Thor helmet Hasbro also designed to go hand in hand with this toy. As of right now, they will be sold separately.

Zac Efron to Star in New Nicholas Sparks Movie ‘The Lucky One’
Jul 27th
While we’re anxiously waiting for Charlie St. Cloud to come out (only three more days to go!), Zac Efron already has his next project lined up. The 22-year-old star has been cast as the main character in the new film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ The Lucky One.
According to New York magazine, Zac will play the Logan Thibault, a Marine who has been carrying around a photo of a girl he’s never met because he believes it’s a good luck charm. But when he sets out to find the girl in the picture, he’s faced with many obstacles involving her and his secret past.
The film is Nicholas Sparks’ seventh to come to life on the big screen and his 14th book overall. Much like The Last Song, the story is set in North Carolina, so we expect to see plenty of the same beautiful landscapes that have made their way into so many of Sparks’ adaptations in the past.
Have you read The Lucky One? Do you think Zac is the right choice to play Logan? Or do you think someone else could do it better? We’re loving all of these dramatic roles that Zac’s taking. We think they’re a great look for him. Do you?
