Another singer to go try out their acting skills, as R&B star Rihanna has been confirmed to play a role in Peter Berg’s board-game movie adapt ‘Battleship’.

Despite the lack of acting skills, Peter Berg has gone and taken the risk in casting the Te Amo singer opposite Alexander Skarsgaard in a story involving a massive Naval adventure across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Aliens against the sea, fair enough…

The film also stars TV’s Friday Night Lights star Taylor Kitsch, who if you also remember was Gambit in the awkward Wolverine:Origins movie. Kitsch will play lead character Alex Hopper, the commanding officer of a warship forced to tool up and kick ass when an alien invasion pitches up from outer space with designs on planet Earth. Skarsgaard will play his brother, a fellow crewman.

The film is supposed set to tell the story of both the human crew and also the aliens, so it is possible that we could see Rihanna’s bobble head actually put to good use! Unlikely but some can always wish (I kid, Rihanna is beautiful, a shame she’s very slutty).

So all in all: A board game adaptation, involving aliens, and stars Rihanna…..Excited? At all?
