Battleship: The Movie, Official Trailer

Yes, it's based on the game. Though the edition I had as a kid didn't have a Michael Bay's Transformers style alien monster in it.

Oh, and Mr. Neesson, you couldn't have been that desperate to make a house payment, were you?

Desperate has nothing to do with it. It's a job. It's a VERY WELL PAYING job.

The actors I have less respect for are the ones who try to be prima-donnas, and then if they DO have to do something that doesn't meet their standards, turn in a substandard performance.

He'd have to be really well paid, I think. I don't want him to be a primma donna, but I'm just surprised this one even got past his agent.

"You mean the boardgame? Seriously?"

They're also making a Candyland movie; and, possibly the most unnecessary of all, remaking Clue.

I wonder if they'll call out their targeting with a letter and a number?

MOVIE DIALOG: "B5!"

ME IN AUDIENCE: "Yes, that's what I should be watching!"

The agent would be asking the important questions: Is this a serious project with real backing, and how much money are you offering?

The answers to the latter will get it passed on directly to Neeson unless he'd given pretty specific instructions like "I won't do a movie based on a game, and no, not even for ten... MILLION... dollars. So don't bother me."

Michael Caine was quoted on one of his famously bad movies, made when professionally there was no reason to have to take ANYTHING he didn't want to. "I haven't seen the movie, but I HAVE seen the house it bought, and it's great."

Professional actors rarely instruct their agents to reject offers that are seven figures or more in size. No matter WHAT the movie is.

Nicolas Cage's agent

It's entirely possible that he'd signed a contract for X movies and the producers decided this would be one of them.
