Peter Berg Will Sink Your BATTLESHIP On July 1, 2011!!

Merrick here...
Looks like Peter Berg's adaptaton of the BATTLESHIP game is moving along full speed ahead.

Universal has set July 1, 2011, for the release of "Battleship," confirming Peter Berg as helmer of the live-action pic based on Hasbro's naval combat board game. [EDIT] Berg called the pic "a contemporary story of an international five-ship fleet engaged in a very dynamic, violent and intense battle" -- but he would not disclose any details about the enemy force. The film will be the next directorial assignment for Berg, who last helmed "Hancock."

...says Variety HERE. Sounds like he's making this before the HANCOCK sequel & his adaptation of DUNE. Peter Berg + big ocean battles? Sounds fine by me...
