Stick this in the ‘WTF?’ files. We were as baffled as everybody else at the announcement of the adaptation of the Milton Bradley board game Battleship into a major motion picture from Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, Hancock). Now Universal has released a trailer and poster for the film, and we are as surprised as anybody at the direction it has taken.
Is it a Michael Bay-style war film? A Michael Bay-style alien invasion film? It could literally go anywhere!
All we need now is those Ouija and Ridley Scott’s Monopoly trailers.
Battleship is released on 21 June 2012 in Australia from Universal.
