SPOILERS! THE BAD GUYS IN BATTLESHIP REVEALED
CHUD.com - A Movie Website and SO MUCH MORE. - Articles - News — ... honest. The info in this story will likely be known by every single person walking into the theater when the movie comes out. But just in case: you've been warned! Peter Berg is a smuggler. He had an idea for a naval combat movie but he knows that almost nobody makes original material on a big scale anymore, so he smuggled his idea into a seemingly lame adaptation of a board game. Thus was born the cinematic Battleship , headed to theaters in a year or so. But what was Berg's idea? According to Latino Review's tipsters , it's about a five ship fleet that engages... aliens. ...

ET SANK MY BATTLESHIP!
CHUD.com - A Movie Website and SO MUCH MORE. - Articles - News — [image] Peter Berg is a smuggler. He had an idea for a naval combat movie but he knows that almost nobody makes original material on a big scale anymore, so he smuggled his idea into a seemingly lame adaptation of a board game. Thus was born the cinematic Battleship , headed to theaters in a year or so. But what was Berg's idea? According to Latino Review's tipsters , it's about a five ship fleet that engages... aliens. I'm not sure why aliens would be mounting a naval attack on the Earth, but I'm assuming Berg has at least thought that out. And unless those aliens look like ...

Battleship spoilers?
JoBlo's Movie Emporium News — ... out a way to transform random guesses and the insertion of plastic pegs into a compelling and family-friendly movie about naval combat? What was it that lured filmmaker Peter Berg (THE KINGDOM, THE RUNDOWN, HANCOCK), and made the studio confident enough to slot it for July 1st, 2011? The project was initially described as "a contemporary story of an international five-ship fleet engaged in a very dynamic, violent and intense battle." But who would they be fighting? According to Latino Review (and corroborated by ...

It's Aliens, I Tell You! It's Aliens Who've Sunk My Battleship!
FirstShowing.net — ... . We know that Universal is planning on releasing it on August 5th, 2011. We know that the film will be shooting next Spring. What we didn't know, until now, however, is just who the international five-ship fleet (discussed by Berg) would be fighting. Well, according to Latino Review, we do now. Aliens. Sorry. Let me have another go at that. ALIENS! Oh yes. Sweet Zuul, yes. There's no word on what type of aliens, where they'll be from (aside from OUTER! SPACE!), or which leader they'll demand to see, but, again… we're talking ...

Berg's Battleship first reveal
Filmstalker — ... will be about a small fleet of battleships involved in a very intense battle, and that's been about it. Up until now we really thought that this would be a standard naval battle but with plenty of CG and some amazing effects and very real battles. However a rumour has come out through Latino Review that there's something else added to the mix, aliens. Now remember the salt with this one because it is very much a rumour from their source, and we all know how unreliable they can be, however if they are right then this is a weird one. There are so many questions raised by this, ...

You sank my ‘Battleship’: Peter Berg’s adaptation to feature aliens?
Reel Loop — ... than anything relevant. Then again, blowing things up, superheros and aliens may represent the new relevancy. Meh and, of course, bah! I really miss the days of films showing two naval captains playing a game of torpedo chess (get your mind out of the gutter) with only a sense of national pride to guide them. That and drowning. Production on Battleship is set to begin this spring with a theater release in 2011. Source: Latino Review ...

Aliens, Another Reason to Get Excited for Battleship
/Film — ... I was trying to remain positive about this upcoming Battleship movie because I think director Peter Berg has the potential to be great, but he’s making it really hard for me right now. Latino Review got the scoop a few days ago that the big bad in Battleship won’t be Nazis, reverse vampires, or ominous looking pegs. Instead, it’s aliens. ...

Will Aliens Be Sinking The Battleship for Hasbro?
Fused Film — ... .

Aliens To Sink Peter Berg’s Battleship?
Screen Rant — ... That was enough to go on at the time, but what Berg DIDN’T mention was who the enemy was going to be…that is, until now. On Friday, Latino Review got a scoop that confirmed (their words, not ours) from a source that the foes the “hero” battleships were presumably going to be battling against are… wait for it… aliens! That’s right, extraterrestrials presumably attacking earth for our wonderful resources (what’s left of them, that is…). ...

Battleship To Go Intergalactic
Cinema Blend News — ... it seemed like a damned good idea. Then they had to go ahead and mess it up Indy 4 -style. The folks over at Latino Review have revealed that Peter Berg's Battleship will be about... aliens. That's right. Fucking aliens. It is not yet known if the story has been moved to space or the interstellar creatures managed to commandeer a vessel on the high seas, but either way the idea is depressing. The original concept isn't that hard to adapt, and is already well-fit into the cinema mainstream (may I remind you that the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has earned more than ...

Peter Bergs BATTLESHIP Movie will have… Aliens?
GeekTyrant — ... A source over at our pals Latino Review has confirmed that aliens will be involved in Bergs Battleship film, which seem so far fetched and absolutely ridiculous that this movie is getting farther and farther away from being associated with the board game. So why did they spend all that money on the rights to the board game? Unless the Hasbro plans on launching a new Battleship game  involving the Navy and aliens. ...

ACTUAL PREMISE: BATTLESHIPS VS. ALIENS
Filmdrunk — ... off point is a board game, and the goal is a story so meaningless it couldn’t possibly offend anyone.  Hasbro and Universal are partnering on a film based on Battleship, of course, Battleship the game was about ships fighting each other.  But who will fight whom??? The good guys, that’s easy, they have to be an international coalition, like the new G.I. Joe.  But who would they fight?  You can’t sell it to a country you blow up!  Solution?  According to Latino Review… aliens. ...

Peter Berg’s Battleship Just Got Cool
Row Three — ... written the entire thing out of my mind and tucked it away as “things to forget until the release date” (which, BTW, has already been set for August 5th, 2011), comes news that not only gets my attention, but excites me. Yes. That’s right. I’m actually excited for Battleship . What caused this sudden change of heart? Want to know how to make a girl (or at least this girl) excited to see your stupid film based on a board game? You introduce aliens into the equation. According to Latino Review tipsters (and these guys are usually bang on with their insider information), the ...
