Hasbro is staying on the grind with their film development, bringing toys and brands like Risk and Micronauts to the big screen. Battleship also falls on the list, which, when announced earlier this year, had people questioning just how they would frame the plot of this one. Now, we have a little insight. According to Latino Review, the Peter Berg-directed adaptation of the game will focus on ships battling - wait for it - aliens! How ridiculous is this?? The film is being developed over at Universal Pictures with a tentative release date of August 5, 2011 and production beginning next spring. Either this will be the best movie ever made, or this is going to go the way of something like Gigli and flop HARD.
