"The Hollywood Reporter posts that as Battleship gets ready to start production this month, the budget is ranked at $200 million (or more). That's for a flick starring Taylor Kitsch and Rihanna (in her first feature acting gig), with Peter Berg (Hancock being the only action film to his name), in a world of water which brings to mind expensive flops like Waterworld.
The studio cites Berg's passion for the material, and how much he learned from his naval historian father for it, as if we're talking about a World War II movie and not Mars Attacks! on H2O. They also cite the love masses of people have for the game, as if carefully placing little plastic ships on a grid will make people the world over go: "I must watch aliens attack ships on the big screen!"
Should Universal Gamble $200 Million on 'Battleship'? - Cinematical
