Liam Neeson Joins Battleship
Great Liam Neeson is the latest star that signed up for new movie Battleship that will be directed by Peter Berg.
Movie already has quite interesting cast: Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Alexander Skarsgaard and Rihanna, and now, with Neeson on board, this definitely looks awesome!
Battleship is a story that “takes place across land, sea and air and sees the planet fighting for survival against an alien invader known as The Regents.”
The movie will be told from both sides of the battle – humans and aliens – and it is known that the alien ships will lose their ability to fly once in earth’s atmosphere.
Taylor Kitsch In Peter Berg’s Battleship
Taylor Kitsch has signed on for the lead in Battleship, a live-action adaptation of Hasbro’s board game, that will be directed by Peter Berg.
There aren’t any details about his role yet, but Kitsch will certainly be right in the center of this kind of interesting “epic-alien-story” as they already describe it. So, get ready for another alien invasion guys!
Peter Berg previously said a few things about his Battleship:
“The aliens, called The Regents, came here looking for something, but they are not wholly evil bent on world domination. We did nothing to provoke them, but they still have an ecological interest in our world. Also they fire ballistics, not ray guns and will be half-CG half-”man in a suit” technology. But sadly, their ship is damaged somehow and that becomes another part of the plot.”
So basically we have good guys and we have some strange bad guys, so it could be the very much of the story. So, this is definitely not going to be just action movie, because apparently there’s also a sci-fi angle to the film.

Pierre Morel Will Direct “Dune” Remake
French filmmaker Pierre Morel, who directed the hit actioner “Taken” and the upcoming “From Paris With Love,” has signed on to helm new Paramount Pictures’ version of “Dune“, the sci-fi classic novel by Frank Herbert.
Morel is chosen to replace Peter Berg, who decided to drop off the project in October 2009 because he has committed to Universal Pictures’ upcoming action movie “Battleship“.
Peter Berg Will Not Direct “Dune”
Director Peter Berg (“Friday Night Lights,” “The Kingdom,” “Hancock”) has left Paramount’s “Dune” remake.
According to reports the remake still is in the works, with Josh Zetumer (who is also writing the next “Bourne” movie) writing the script, and Paramount is searching for a new director.
Paramount is reportedly now eying Neill Blomkamp – “District 9” filmmaker and Neil Marshall, writer and director of “The Descent,” to replace him.
No reason has been cited for the Berg’s exit, but some sources suggest that he departed to work on a number of “dream projects” at Universal.
Peter Berg’s Battleship Set for July 2011
Universal has set Peter Berg (Hancock) to direct “Battleship,” a live-action adaptation of Hasbro‘s board game.
According to Variety, Berg joins “Battleship” as part of his two-picture deal he made with Universal Pictures; the other film is the Afghan war drama “Lone Survivor.”
For Berg, the picture realizes a passion for ship-bound war stories that he picked up from his naval historian father.
Will Smith and Charlize Theron Confirmed for Hancock 2
Director Peter Berg has confirmed to MTV that Will Smith and Charlize Theron for “Hancock 2.” “Everybody’s going to come back for a sequel,” Berg said.
Adam Fierro (Dexter) and Glen Mazzara (The Shield) were hired to pen the sequel earlier this summer, but it was not confirmed whether any of the original cast would be involved.
The movie that opened last summer about a drunk superhero and a publicist trying to help restore his image turned out to be a pseudo Greek Mythology when it was revealed that Smith was actually a god that can become immortal and highly vulnerable in the presence of his goddess companion, played by Theron. Peter Berg previously talked to Sci-Fi Wire, basically saying that since the story indicates he’s not alone of his kind, they could bring in another god out there for the sequel.
