Today we have 14 high resolution photos from the upcoming epic action-adventure Battleship, one of next summer's biggest blockbusters. Directed and produced by Peter Berg (Hancock), this is a big money teamup between Hasbro and Universal.
Liam Neeson plays the admiral who must fight back against the invaders. His character is also the dad of model Brooklyn Decker's character and the commanding officer of her boyfriend, played by Taylor Kitsch. (Singer Rihanna plays a naval weapons specialist!)
Here's the official synopsis:
Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Based on Hasbro's classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper's fiancee; Alexander Skarsgard as Hopper's older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper's crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone's superior (and Sam's father), Admiral Shane.
Battleship is slated to hit theaters on May 18th, 2012.
