Alexander Skarsgard, Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, and Brooklyn Decker visited Sailors and their families Commander Fleet Activities Yosuka (CFAY) during a meet and greet for Battleship. Event was held at Benny Theater on 4/2/2012.
Director Peter Burg and actors Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna and Tadanobu Asano met with Commander, Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Capt. David A. Owen, participated in a question and answer forum and took photos with the Sailors.
[box] Singer and actress Rihanna said working and learning from Sailors during her time making the film was a humbling experience. “It was really special having a lot of real Navy Sailors and veterans help us make the film,” said Rihanna. “We could never stand up to half of what you guys are. We look up to you guys so much, and I have so much respect for you guys.” Owen said he appreciated the stars taking the time to come and visit the forward-deployed Sailors. “It’s always great when we can get celebrities over here, and these are some really awesome individuals,” said Owen. “Sailors have been talking about this for the past couple weeks, and I hope they know just how much this means to them.” [/box]
[box] The feeling of deep appreciation for the struggles and sacrifices of the Navy’s forward-deployed forces resonated throughout the entire cast. “I’m always interested in supporting the military,” said Burg. “I love and have so much respect for everybody in the military, particularly the Navy and their families, and we all understand the sacrifices that you guys make.” After the event at the base theater, the stars visited the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN-73), and took a tour of the ship while visiting with the crew. “To come all the way over here and meet so many Americans that have made such great sacrifices – it’s humbling,” said Burg. “All of us got emotional flying in here on the helicopter.” “This movie was made for you guys,” said Decker. “Keep up the hard work.” [/box]

Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker and Peter Berg attended the Battleship panel at WonderCon 2012. They showed a new trailer that featured more of Alexander Skarsgard’s character of Stone Hopper interacting with his on screen brother Taylor Kitsch. The trailer shows the brothers at a bar celebrating Kitsch’s birthday and big brother Stone is buying him drinks. (complete with a celebratory birthday cupcake). Kitsch sees Brooklyn at the bar and of course makes a wish for her. He is unemployed and big brother Stone is in the Navy. We learn that Stone is following in their father’s footsteps and looks out for his younger brother.
Kitsch does his best to impress Brooklyn in the bar and winds up trying to procure a chicken burrito for the hungry beauty. He goes to great lengths to obtain the burrito and it was quite a comical scene. The next trailer shown has a time jump of five years into the future and Kitsch is now in the Navy and has really cleaned up his act. The second trailer also featured some of the action showing Rihanna in her acting debut.

Imagine my surprise when I was reviewing the information to plan out my weekend when I noticed this little gem:
International poster for Battleship featuring Alexander Skarsgard
[box] 3:15-4:15 Universal Pictures: Battleship and Snow White and the Huntsman— Universal Pictures will present footage and special guests from two of its upcoming epic action-adventures: Battleship (May 18) and Snow White and the Huntsman (June 1).

Snow White and the Huntsman’s director, Rupert Sanders, will answer questions about the new movie starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth and Sam Claflin.[/box]
Sent off an email to confirm that yes this will be happening. Keeping fingers crossed that yes it will. There is always also a chance that schedules will change due to filming requirements. WonderCon has the following “small print” regarding celebrity apperances and programming panels:
Celebrity appearances and program schedule are subject to change. All event and program rooms have limited capacity as set by the fire marshal. Even though your badge is needed to get into all events, it does not guarantee you access to any event if the venue has reached its capacity. Rooms are not cleared between events. Most autograph signings are limited — your badge does not guarantee autographs at any signing event. Please…absolutely no recording of the video footage or images presented by the studios on the screens.
A huge thank you to Universal Pictures for sending over the great poster and image for Peter Berg’s film “Battleship”. (I should have checked my email earlier).
Here is the synopsis for the film which will feature True Blood’s Viking Vampire-Alexander Skarsgard as Stone Hopper.
Synopsis:
Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Based on Hasbro’s classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper’s fiancée; Alexander Skarsgård as Hopper’s older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper’s crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone’s superior (and Sam’s father), Admiral Shane.
Berg directs this epic action-adventure also produced by Scott Stuber (Couples Retreat), Sarah Aubrey (The Kingdom), Brian Goldner and Bennett Schneir of Hasbro (the Transformers franchise), along with Duncan Henderson (Master and Commander).

Moviehole.net caught up with Brooklyn Decker while she was in Brisbane cheering on her tennis pro husband Andy Roddick. Brooklyn has the role of Sam in the film “Battleship”.
When asked about the film she had the following to say to Moviehole.net
Says Decker, “We will do reshoots. We have shot a bunch of alternate endings. There’s a lot of CGI to be done – a lot of stuff in post.”
re: reshoots: “Yes, depending on the storyline and where they want to take it we might be doing some reshoots”, explains the cordial actress.
The picture, which pits the crew of a fleet of ships against a supernatural entity, was directed by actor cum filmmaker Peter Berg.
“He was amazing. We agreed on nearly everything. It’s great when you’re on the same page”,“He is great – and he’s especially great with new actors. He loves it that there’s no ego to protect and we’re all just in there having fun and working together.”
Universal Studios has a lot riding on this high budget film. Battleship is the first of three Hasbro movie themed films. It will be followed by Ouija and Rob Letterman’s Stretch Armstrong which will feature Taylor Lautner. (The film Stretch Armstrong is currently in development/script stage and shows a tentative 2013 release date).
There is a lot of buzz/worry concerning the film Battleship which also stars Alexander Skarsgard, Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch and Rihanna. Adding to the worries are these comments by Decker on “reshoots”. Usually that is code in film code for the movie “doesn’t work”. Hopefully in this case it does not mean that and the film will be amazing. (but yes quite a few fans have expressed concern over Alex’s participation in this film).
Having James Cameron publicly criticized the production of the film Battleship when he spoke with the German publication Speigel Online has also added fuel to the fire. Here is what Mr. Cameron had to say:
We have a story crisis. Now they want to make the Battleship game into a film. This is pure desperation.”
“Everyone in Hollywood knows how important it is that a film is a brand before it hit theaters. If a brand has been around, Harry Potter for example, or Spider-Man, you are light years ahead. And there lies the problem. Because unfortunately these franchises are become more ridiculous. Battleship. This degrades the cinema.”
I know I am still holding onto hope and will await to see just what Peter Berg has in store for us when the film is released in May of 2012.
Brooklyn Decker has been set by Peter Berg as a female lead for his film “Battleship”. She joins Alexander Skarsgard, Taylor Kitsch and Rihanna in the film. The film is due to start production in September in Hawaii. It is scheduled to be released May 18, 2012. Scripted by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber, Battleship’s a big scale action adventure that pits that crew of a battleship again alien invaders. Brian Koppelman and David Levien are working on the most recent draft. Decker plays the love interest of Kitsch’s naval officer character and was just in Hawaii filming the Denis Dugan-directed comedy Just Go With It for Sony Pictures. Berg and his Film 44 partner Sarah Aubrey are producing with Hasbro’s Brian Goldner and Bennett Schneir and Scott Stuber.
