Behind The Scenes ‘Battleship’ Clip Features Rihanna And Explosions
To date we’ve only seena teaser trailer forPeter Berg’s loose, to say the least, adaptation of the Hasbro board gameBattleshipand fan response has been largely venomous. The film, scheduled for release June 21, 2025, has plenty of time to fix that though as more of the its epic scale and story will continue to be revealed. From what we’ve seen so far, it looks like AquaIndependence Day.
Familiarizing us with that story and characters seems to be the aim of this behind the scenes video fromEntertainment Tonight. It’s got some new stunts, explosions, and breaks down who each of the stars –Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard,Rihanna,Brooklyn DeckerandLiam Neeson– play. Check it out after the jump.
While the clip comes fromEntertainment Tonight,The Playlistprovided the heads up. Here you go.
If you weren’t sold on the trailer forBattleship, this clip isn’t going to turn you around just yet. With nine months to go until its release, there’s obviously still a lot of work that needs to be done. This clip, as well as the trailer, are probably just early renderings of some of the less impressive things that’ll eventually end up in the movie.
It seems to me, though, that the whole conceit ofBattleship– aliens vs. Navy in a massive, big budget showdown – is either something you buy into or you don’t. The footage that’s been release actually looks more like a Michael Bay movie than a Peter Berg movie and, in Bay’s movies, it’s not so much about the story as it is about a huge, visceral experience. If you don’t fall in line with those kind of movies,Battleshipprobably won’t work for you anyway.
Do you agree with that? And do you have any expectations about this movie?
