There is something distinctly familiar about the new feature trailer for Universal Picture's "Battleship" movie. Judging from the trailer, the only thing that stops this movie being the latest entry in the "Transformers" series, is the title!

Directed by Peter Berg, "Battleship," like "Transformers" is based on a popular Hasbro product, this being the board game "Battleships." It is clear that this is pm;y loosely based on that game, because the last time I played "Battleships," there certainly wern't any "Transformer" like Aliens in it.

The sci-fi action epic "Battleship" stars Alexander Skarsgård, Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna,Liam Neeson, Brooklyn Decker,Josh Pence, Jesse Plemons, Peter MacNicol, Tadanobu Asano, Stephen Bishop and Hamish Linklater.

Watch the new trailer for "Battleship" below;



"Battleship" is released across the US and UK from May 18th, 2012.

Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic-scaled action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Inspired by 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) and Jeffrey Silver (300). The film is written by Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber (Red).
