Quote: Peter Berg (Hancock, The Kingdom, "Friday Night Lights") directs and produces Battleship, the epic-scale action-adventure that James Rocchi, MSN Movies calls, "A big, bold blast! Packed with brains and heart, and explosively fun." Taylor Kitsch plays Lieutenant Alex Hopper, a naval weapons officer assigned to destroyer USS John Paul, and humanity's last hope in the face of a global alien invasion. Alexander Skarsgard ("True Blood," Melancholia) is Hopper's older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of USS Sampson; global music superstar Rihanna makes her motion-picture debut as Petty Officer Second Class Cora Raikes, Hopper's crewmate and a weapons specialist on USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker (Just Go With It) is Sam Shane, Hopper's fiancee and a physical therapist specializing in the rehabilitation of military combat veterans; Tadanobu Asano (Thor), is Captain Yugi Nagata, commanding officer of the Japanese destroyer Myoko and Hopper's archrival; and Academy Award® nominee Liam Neeson (The Grey, Taken) plays Hopper and Stone's superior (and Sam's father), Admiral Shane, Commander of the Pacific Fleet.
