It's not that they're making a feature version of the game Battleship (which I can understand way more than the movie version of Monopoly that Ridley Scott is developing). And it's not that they're casting
Gambit/Tim Riggins Taylor Kitsch to star. It's that when I picture a movie based on Battleship, I don't see aliens. Yet, it appears that there will indeed be aliens.
From the
Hollywood Reporter, 4/8/10:
"The script...sees an international fleet come together to fight a waterbound armada of otherworldly origin."
Really? I mean, really? Didn't anyone learn from the disaster that was
Indy Jones and the Crystal Skull that putting aliens where aliens don't belong is a bad idea?
