I think Peter Berg is a good director. I really liked The Rundown, and I thought that The Kingdom and Handcock were flawed yet decent movies. I don't care for sports movies, but I think Friday Night Lights was pretty well received? I also thought that the pilot Berg directed for that Ron Moore sci-fi show that never got picked up (Fox thought it would be a good idea to air the thing on the Friday Transformers 2 came out... smart) was awesome. I'm not sure who is writing the script for this but if it is serviceable I'm confident that Berg will make an enjoyable film. A better Battle LA with less cliche characters and stilted alpha male dialogue maybe?
Yeah that Battle LA had heaps of cliche's......even tho i slighty enjoyed it
speaking of that movie and cliche's

Or as one of the comments in that comingsoon.net link said
I'm looking forward to Uno: The Movie where a giant Draw 4 card blocks out the sun, threatening to destroy Earth and we send up a bunch of Skip cards to fight it off, we end up winning when the Draw 4 sends a Reverse card to us, but blowing itself up as it heads back. Epic film, Michael Bay is expecting to direct it.
To be fair, this seems to be Battleship in relation to the game, only in name. There is literally like, nothing in this movie that is in common with the game. It's "Battleship the game turned into a movie" in the same vein that "Pirates of the Caribbean the Ride was turned into a movie". And no one ever complains about that.
Dude, there could have been a perfectly presentable movie based off "Battleship." C'mon, an unknown enemy blasts bombs at the US Naval Services? Who made the bombs, where are they coming from, why are they so accurate? Is it terrorists or some crazy pacifist group? Spies and lies and red herrings? Gives the phrase "You sunk my battleship!" a WHOLE new meaning.

I still think this looks like a colossal Michael Bay-wannabe cow turd. And I am still wondering why the magnificent Lian Neeson is in it when he could be doing Taken II. 😬

So they backed out of making a movie of Halo...but they did this.
Looks like next year's Godzilla, to me.

Well long before I heard Battleship was to become a movie....MONOPOLY was rumoured as well.
