Friday Night Lights' Peter Berg is in talks to direct a movie adaptation of the Hasbro board game Battleship for Universal. According to The Hollywood Reporter, plot details are being kept under wraps, but the studio expects it to be "an epic naval action adventure." No news on casting, or which lucky actor will get to say "You sank my battleship!" - (Entertainment Weekly)
Here's hoping they don't bother trying to make it deep or "legitimate", and just go for awesome. Wouldn't that be radical, having a based-on-something movie be every bit as unashamedly fluffy fun as the thing it's based on?
