Hancock director Peter Berg is currently at work on a film version of the "Battleship" board game.
How could a film about putting plastic pegs into a fake plastic ocean be made interesting? Simple... ADD ALIENS!
Another 90% CGI and explosion-filled summer blockbuster that I won't bother seeing.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: (M)a$$hole. | | | yeah, I'm not sure if Peter Berg is the talking head for the company (edit: oops the director), but I remember some dude talking this up a little while ago, about how "rich and exciting the background story" was or some nonsense...and I kept thinking the guy was on glue. I just simply cannot see how something like this, so freaking threadbare in every conceivable capacity, can get a green light. But then again, what am I saying, happens all the time.
I'm right there with ya, saving my 12 bucks. Tru that!

Which do you think would make the better movie?

Should get great ratings!

I don't think that book could possibly be made into a movie. Too much character introspection. I imagine it would be about as horrible as the movie they made out of "Dune".
