Yes, there’s totally a Battleship movie.

As in, a movie adaptation of the old pen ‘n’ paper guessing game of the same name.

STARRING LIAM NEESON AS E7, GEORGE CLOONEY AS F3, AND INTRODUCING SOME IRRITATING KID AS A6.

Okay, I made up that bit, although fact is maybe even more absurd than fiction – it’s somehow been turned into some kind of sci-fi alien invasion flick.

Anyway, Activision is cashing in the inevitable game of the movie of the game, now in development over at Double Helix, the same studio behind Silent Hill: Homecoming.

The game is a stand-alone story set in the same universe as the movie, so that’s the one where gigantic ships appear overhead for no obvious reason and presumably start blowing stuff up. Okay, I’m starting to see how this was reworked into a sci-fi alien invasion flick.

Also, I just looked the movie up on Wikipedia and Liam Neeson really is in it. I loled irlz.
