Catch A Look At Rihanna In Full-Blown Naval Battleship Wear
So when I heard Rihanna had been cast as one of the female leads in the board game-to-movie adaptation of BATTLESHIP, I didn’t think it was exactly the best idea, taking into account her lack of acting experience outside of music videos. I didn’t rule out the possibility that she might be able to bring something to the table as a recognizable face and name, but after catching the first glimpse of Rihanna on-set in her full-blown naval costume… well, I have no choice but to rule it out. For a movie that sounded utterly ridiculous to begin with, now it has the images to back it up.
RihannaDaily managed to snag the first set pic of Rihanna in her fatigues, and, if it doesn’t look dumb to you to see Rihanna trying to pull off being a naval officer, then your suspension of disbelief is of a far greater capacity than any mere mortal, because this looks stupid. I mean, Rihanna in the Navy…? Seriously…? Even the Coast Guard would take some stretching, but this…? This is retarded.
Then again, so is BATTLESHIP. There is nothing we’ve heard about the film that sounds at all promising, and I’m pretty sure the only board game that would make for an even worse translation into a movie would be Checkers. At least if they would have cast Rihanna as one of the aliens engaged in a battle with humans for the film, I could have bought that solely on Rihanna’s appearance at the MTV VMAs a couple years ago as she performed “Disturbia.” But as someone volunteering to protect America from enemies by hopping on a boat (sans T-Pain)…? That’s the kind of thing only director Peter Berg would come up with.
Who’s directing BATTLESHIP again…? Oh, right… yeah… see, that makes sense now.
(Hint: it’s Peter Berg)
