Rihanna has conquered the pop music world with her exotic beauty and a string of No. 1 hits. Now the pop darling will try and become the queen of the big screen.
Rihanna will make her big screen debut in Universal’s latest movie idea, Battleship, alongside Alexander Skarsgard and Taylor Kitsch, say media reports.
The studio made the announcement Monday evening, with director Peter Berg expected to begin shooting soon. The live-action film is based on Hasbro’s naval combat board game.
Don’t expect to see it soon, however. The movie is not expected to drop until May 25, 2012. Battleship takes place across the seas, skies, and land in a battle for planet survival against a stronger force. Kitsch stars as a Naval officer who leads the fight and Skarsgard will play his brother in the film. –terry shropshire
