I loved playing Battleship as a kid but I never saw it as a blueprint for a feature film. I still don’t but others in Hollywood seem to have that vision in mind.

They’re actually making a movie about the classic Hasbro board game and E! News reports that Rihanna, the 22-year-old pop-R&B singer will be making her feature-film debut in the action flick.

Rihanna is slated to be joined by Friday Night Lights’ Taylor Kitsch and True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård as brothers who fight for their planet’s survival against an otherworldly forces.

Release date is set for May 25, 2012.
