Victoria's Secret Model Brooklyn Decker cast in BATTLESHIP

Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker has been cast in Peter Berg's upcoming sci-fi action film Battleship, which the studio is still saying is based on the popular board game. The thing is... Berg has taken this film to a whole new level of ridiculousness that I don't know how it represents the game anymore.

Decker will play one of the female leads in the film named Sam, who is described as being able to "surf, fight, dance and crush the NY Times crossword puzzle. (She) has driven a motorcycle around the world twice."

The character is the love interest to the naval commander played by Taylor Kitsch, who stars in the ultra-budget adventure. The film also stars Alexander Skarsgard.

The script was written by Jon and Erich Hoeber, and the story has been described as a massive Naval adventure across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. The mission of the aliens is to build a power source in the ocean. Skarsgard will be playing Kitsch’s brother in the film, who happens to be a straight and narrow naval officer. Kitsch play a Naval commander named Alex Hopper, described as "wildly spirited" and "a great seaman but a lousy politician." He idolizes his brother. 

Here are a few more deatils about the movie that we previously posted:

Here is some information that I thought you might find interesting that Berg revealed:

  • The aliens' agenda is not global domination.

  • Their technology is relatable. They fire explosive ballistics, not ray guns or lasers.

  • The Captain on the Destroyer (Kitsch) has a team of five guys which consist of the number two in command, the CO, the XO, and a Scotty type character from Star Trek.

  • The alien ships are sea based and won't fly even thought they can. They're able to move and sort of leap at different angles, but they're killable.

  • The film is likened to The Bridge On the River Kwai. The aliens are trying to build something because they're in trouble and they need a power source.

  • The aliens have a similar geological makeup to us and they come from a place that has a similar ecology to ours.

  • The famous line, "You sank my battleship!" will be included in the film.

  • Some sequences in the film will be done in 3D, and you will be able to see the movie in IMAX.

What are your thoughts on Skarsgard taking a role in Battleship?
