Universal nixed HP Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness and Stephan Kingss Dark Tower series in favor of spending $240 million on a Hasbro board game. This sh-t looks no better than Battle LA or Skyline. <div><iframe frameborder="0" width="576" height="324" src="http://d.yimg.com/nl/movies/site/player.html#vid=26061671&shareUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fmovies.yahoo.com%2Ffeature%2Fbattleship.html"></iframe></div>
lol wtf? definitely not what i expected.. i never recalled Aliens in the boardgame, just lil red and white pegs. is this really inspired/based on the board game? or was it just randomly called Battleship?
So Eric Northman gets his memory erased and ends up as a commander on a battleship? Talk about one wild ride.
He's been around for hundreds of years, maybe he spent some of hat time in the Navy? The Vikings had their longships, so this is merely a higher-tech and less rapey and pillagey version of that career.
It's really inspired by the board game, last year studio started greenlighting a lot of adaptations of Hasbro board games....Ouija and Monopoly movies are on the way....
Damn thought this was Del Toro's movie (the one he was gonna direct when ATMOM was canned). Apparently that's called Pacific Rim and now I'm disappointed.
Just read that Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna will be in this movie. The trailer looked pretty bad, but I just might go watch it for those two.
Now that he's banging Sookie I highly doubt he's interested in a career in the Navy. But yeah, his experience as a Viking probably gives him crazy insight into how to battle that odd looking submarine/spaceship thing.
I think a film version of Hungry Hippos where a group of American CEO types safari in Africa and get picked off and eaten one by one by super smart Hippos is what we need.
