Liam Neeson Joins BATTLESHIP

According to Variety, Liam Neeson has joined the cast of Universal’s BATTLESHIP, directed by Peter Berg, already starring Alexander Skarsgard, Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna…

Neeson plays Admiral Shane, future father in law of Kitsch’s character, Alex Hopper, who happens to be dating Shane’s daughter played by hottie Decker. Skarsgard plays Hopper’s brother, “a straight and narrow naval officer whom Kitsch, a wildly spirited naval officer, idolizes”…
I hope that’s not too confusing.

BATTLESHIP movie is said to be an epic naval action adventure. Berg described it as “a contemporary story of an international five-ship fleet engaged in a very dynamic, violent and intense battle”. previous info revealed that the enemies are aliens. But Producer and Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner emphasized that the story doesn’t begin as a fight, the aliens won’t start out attacking.

BATTLESHIP opens May 18th, 2012

Written by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber, and revised by Brian Koppelman and David Levien.
