Battleship Trailer Stars Rihanna, Other People Who Aren’t Rihanna

Who ever made the second and most recent Battleship trailer was smart enough to know why most of the human race will be seeing it*: a fantastic lady by the name of Rihanna. Not that the huge action movie doesn’t look good in it’s own right; it’s also got Brooklyn Decker, Liam Neeson and some kind of centuries-old hidden alien army lying in wait on the ocean floor**. Most importantly, though, it has Rihanna’s acting debut***. It seems pretty solid! When RiRi yells, “What the hell is that?” you really feel like she wanted to know what the hell that was. As much as we love extraterrestrial fireballs with chainsaw tails ripping apart helicopters and smashing buildings, let us take a moment to pay homage to the best part of this and any movie: the precious seconds Rihanna is on screen.

*Editor’s note: There are some of us who have had this movie’s opening marked in our calendars as “dinner with Taylor Kitsch AND Alexander Skarsgard” since last year.
**And also Eric Northman getting his face warped and Tim Riggins getting all militaried up.
*** “More importantly,” we’d like to mention, is only according to Halle Kiefer. Her editor would like to argue that nothing is more important than Taylor looking very, very worried.

10 Hottest Taylor Kitsch Looks In The New John Carter Of Mars Trailer

More John Carter Videos

Sorry to be such a girl. Well, actually, I’m not that sorry. But I had no prior knowledge of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars before they cast Taylor Kitsch in the movie. And after seeing the trailer, I’m still pretty fuzzy about the plot. The Disney website helps a bit: John Carter is a Civil War vet who gets transported to Mars, where he has super strength and the ability to jump really high. Then he gets embroiled in some kind of alien war, fighting on the side of the creatures that come a little too close to resembling Jar Jar Binks for our comfort. Anyway, I have no way of telling if I’ll like this movie yet. What I do know is that I like this new trailer 87 percent more than the trailer for Taylor’s other big upcoming movie, Battleship — that one had way too few Tim Riggins smoldering looks and way too many battleships (though Taylor wasn’t nearly as cheated as Alexander Skarsgard). Despite all that jumping and alien fighting, the John Carter preview shows us plenty of Taylor in his gladiator gear (but this is in the 1800s on Mars? Huh?). “You are ugly, but you are also beautiful,” some alien tells him. Well, that’s half true.

Here are 10 screencaps from the trailer, just so you can take a closer look without all that yelling and dramatic Led Zeppelin music.

Those Aliens Sunk Our Battleship (Trailer)!

You would have thought Transformers 3: Dark Side Of The Moon would have satisfied America’s thirst for robot warfare, but surprisingly the new Battleship teaser trailer has us wanting more. Starring Friday Night Light‘s Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard and Brooklyn Decker, Battleship seems to offer a neat spin on the traditional board game set-up: since the villain is some sort of ominous airship, it’s looking down at us like we are tiny plastic boats to be used for its amusement! And are those pegs they’re shooting into the side of those boats? Why, yes. Yes, they are.

Our only problem with the film so far is the glaring absence of Rihanna, who makes her big-budget film debut when the film drops May 18, 2012. Oh, maybe Rihanna has THE LINE and they want to hold onto it until just the right time. You know one we mean.

Let’s All Enjoy A Shirtless Taylor Kitsch In The John Carter Trailer

There is life after Friday Night Lights for our beloved Tim Riggins! Our favorite brooding bad boy and his pecs star in John Carter, the first live-action movie from Pixar director Andrew Stanton. Taylor Kitsch plays a Civil War vet sent to Mars (seriously) where he ends up fighting epic space battles and falling in love with an intergalactic hottie played by Lynn Collins. Most importantly, Taylor is shirtless for most of the trailer, which bodes well for the actual film. Alien eyes, full pecs, can’t lose!

Alexander Skarsgard Signs Up For The Big Screen

Alexander Skarsgard makes us want to throw whatever morality we have out of the window. In our defense, butts like that come along only once in a while, ‘kay? It’s no wonder then that this little nugget of information makes us exceedingly happy. Because more A.Skars equals more drool.

Our boyfriend (leave us alone, Kate Bosworth) is going to be on the big screen (squeal!). Apart from True Blood, Skarsgard has signed up for Battleship. You know, the super action-packed video game? He revealed, “It’s quite different from the board game, obviously. Pete is a great guy — the director, Peter Berg — and I’m just excited to start it, I really am.” Not more excited than we are, trust us. They’re going to start shooting in Hawaii next week. Ah, shirtless Skarsgard, we welcome you. Sadly, you’ll have to wait until May, 2012 for his goodness to grace the big screen.

By the way, this movie seriously packs in the sexy. Because he co-stars with Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker and Taylor Kitsch. Can you feel the hotness? Maybe it’s a good thing it’s releasing in 2012…it gives us time to prepare ourselves for the sizzle!
