On Monday night, Variety announced that the sexy songstress Rihanna is stepping out from under her umbrella to star in her first feature film. She is scheduled to star in Universal’s Battleship, which is inspired by the classic Hasbro game of the same name.

Synopsis:  A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals.

Also starring in the film are Alexander Skarsgard and Taylor Kitch.  Kitch will play a Naval officer who leads the battle, while Skarsgard has been cast as his brother.  The story will be told from both perspectives of the battle; the humans and the aliens.  The battle will take place on land, in the water, and in the air.

Scheduled Release Date:  May 25, 2012
