Universal Pictures has set a July 1, 2011 for the Peter Berg-directed Battleship, a live-action adaptation of Hasbro's board game.

Variety says the deal is part of a two-picture pact Berg has made with the studio, where he'll follow Battleship with the Afghan war drama Lone Survivor.

The Battleship script was written by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber. Production is scheduled to begin next spring.

Berg called the film "a contemporary story of an international five-ship fleet engaged in a very dynamic, violent and intense battle."

Other projects in development for Berg, including Dune and Hancock 2, will come later.

Other Hasbro adaptations in the works at Universal include Stretch Armstrong (April 11, 2011) with Steve Oedekerk, Clue with Gore Verbinski, Monopoly with Ridley Scott, Candy Land with Kevin Lima and Ouija with Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes.


So I guess if they can do Transformers and GI Joe, that Battleship would make a fantasy movie. WTF? How do you based a movie off of that game?

I liked Clue.

But at least you can do something with Clue and its characters/setting.

Battleship? CANDY LAND?!? OUIJA?!?!?

It's the fourth movie in the series that's the real shocker!

You should have posted a video of Lunar Pool with the friction settings all out of whack, making the game unplayable.

Someone needs to find a video on that episode of Robot Chicken where they had board games that turned into movies. I can't find it.

And why are they remaking Clue? The original was perfect! It had Tim Curry!

For some reason, this is reminding me of the mock preview for the Minesweeper movie College Humor released some time ago.

E: Ah crap, someone beat me to it.

I'm pretty sure they're actually making an Asteroids movie, also.

Didn't they already do that with Armageddon?
