Battleship

[IHeartBayhem]

New trailer and......I think Michael Bay's gonna sue SOMEBODY! :wtf

[Bayhem]

Personally, I'm looking forward to "Battleship". Berg won me with "The Kingdom" and overall, I really like his shooting style.

So I'm definitely in.


P.S. Jablonsky is scoring the movie.

Well then I might just go see it for Steve and Liam

If there are no giant plastic red and white pegs descending from the heavens landing on the ships then my childhood will be ruined forever.

Well, Steve Jablonsky pretty much guarantees a ticket.

[Ed Fuego]

I'll definitely see this. I like Peter Berg quite a bit; has a good visual sense and style. Jablonsky scoring is a plus, and how can you not like Liam Neeson?

sold! kinda have TF vide when the alien ship emerge and making those alien sound! i had goosebumps too. can not wait!!!!

[Trailbreaker]

Awww shit the trailer's been pulled.

[MitP]

It's almost unbelievable just how obviously they're trying to appeal to the same audience that made the TRANSFORMERS movies a success, even aping the "look" of a Michael Bay film and using the same sound effects.

Hasbro's Brian Goldner is the producer of the movie, and since he also exec. produced "Transformers", I'm not surprised to see some Bay-shots in the trailer. But the director Peter Berg has his own style and that's why I'm looking forward to the movie.

He's definitely not trying to be the next Michael Bay. As for the movie itself, it'll be a mix between "Pearl Harbor", "Poseidon" and "Transformers". The budget is over $200 million, so don't expect a cheap "Skyline" type of movie.

[TIMtationX]

Looks like Transformers 3.5.

[Trailbreaker]

Finally watched the trailer. Definitely a guilty pleasure movie for me. I'm just wondering if anybody else will actually take it seriously.

[TIMtationX]

Wait.....Is this based on the Battleship GAME?? As in "you sunk my battleship"??

[Horror Sober]

Coming up next: Jesse Eisenberg stars in "Where's Waldo", a film about a young hacker framed for a crime he didn't commit who is chased around the country by both the FBI and the ruthless gang who framed him.

That would be hilarious, except with the creative climate in Hollywood the way it is, chances are a WHERE'S WALDO? movie will be made in another year or two. :head

I would pay to see that. Seriously.


Battleship looks like one of those movies that exists for the sake of the "Rule of Cool" as TV Tropes would call it. I mean...the US Navy versus ALIENS!!! How often do you see that? It's almost always the Air Force versus aliens.

[BAYsplosions!]

I saw the trailer last night at the midnight showing of Cowboys and Aliens (which I really enjoyed) and I thought it looked pretty good. Definetly had me interested. I do like Peter Berg, he was involved in Friday Night Lights which is one of my all time favorite television shows so I'm confident in him. Also Taylor Kitsch who also played on Friday Night Lights and is a great actor has a starring role in it so thats like an added bonus in my opinion.

The trailer did have a Transformers like feel to it but I'm not gonna say it loooks like a rip off of a Michael Bay film. If it is like a combination if those films that were mentioned in an above post then I think this will turn out good. And finally...I've become a big fan of Jablonsky scores so if he is doing the score thats definetly a plus for me. Overall the trailer has me interested so there's a good chance that I probably end up checking this out next summer.

[Trailbreaker]

I think the Transformers feel is sorta the idea. Bboth are based on Hasbro brands, and both are scored by Jablonsky.

Hey, maybe they're in the same universe?

[TIMtationX]

So I saw the trailer in front of Sherlock Holmes 2, and everyone in the theater bursted out laughing when the title appeared.

Is that a bad sign?

Same happened when I saw the first TF announcement trailer (with the Mars Rover). Laughter insued when the word TRANSFORMERS appeared.

I don't ever remember hearing laughter when I saw the announcement trailer. But I do remember myself thinking during the Mars stuff that it was going to be another War of the Worlds movie. My reaction to the title was like, ".........wait, what?"

[swishbig]

Yeah, I remember seeing the teaser and I thought to myself "Who the hell is going to see that..." and then I ended up seeing it 3 times in theaters.

[Ultra Magnus]

I saw the teaser in front of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. I agree it's very Transformers-esque; definitely looking forward to it.

I didn't know about this movie, so I was surprised when I read the 'fine print' and saw Hasbro.

[swishbig]

Rihanna behind the scenes.

[Ed Fuego]

I agree this doesn't look that... "fresh", but I really like Peter Berg, so I'm in on this.
