Peter Berg and Hasbro are developing a live-action film based upon the classic Battleship board game. Since Berg’s attachment we really haven’t heard much on how this movie would play out, toying with the famous catch phrase of the game it seems now that Aliens have sunk the Battleship or at least will be. The film is scheduled to be released August 5, 2011. According to Latino Review, Aliens will be the enemy of the five ship international fleet.

Now my pal Alex over at FS.net would tell you that they should go a step forward and make it alien vs. alien and he would also tell you that the idea sound fuckin sweet and I’d have to agree. I love the concept it would make this film easy and somewhat droll to concept itself like a Hunt for Red October or Crimson Tide but we have seen those movies and everything in between, anyone see U-571?

I think adding an element like this leaves you with not only a lot to do but basically a film that can be large on scale like Independence Day. I will be very interested to hear more about this as it pops up but for right now I will let my imagination sore with ideas on aliens versus my battleship.
