Was the target audience for this film the fans of Transformers 2? This looks absolutely horrible.

I saw the trailer for this before COWBOYS AND ALIENS and when the words "BATTLESHIP" came up on the screen the audience erupted into laughter.

A trailer that drawn out, and not one person yelled out "A15!" or "You sunk my battleship!" Disappointing.

"You sunk my battleship!"

Oh...it's in there. (The movie...not the trailer.)

Phew. Does Personality-Free-Girl say it to Vaguely-Familiar-Guy-Who-Looks-Sort-Of-Like-John-Cena while they're lying on the beach?

BTW, is there a Hollywood equivalent of Poe's Law? Because I often can't tell the difference between a real trailer and something Jay Sherman would have reviewed on "The Critic" in the mid 90s.

This is (sadly) real. And the budget is massive.

There is a bit where the humans and the aliens are both shooting blindly at each other. That's how they tie it in with the game.

But the good news is that the Ouija board movie has been placed in turn-around.

Candyland, Monopoly, and Operation are all in various stages of production though.

Now this a board game I would like to see as a movie

I actually started collecting board games in the past few years and I am most definitely buying that one, taz.

Ooh, maybe a Burger Time film? Remember the video game with the chef who made giant burgers by walking across the ingredients, all the while being chased by giant walking pickles, sausages and fried eggs?

I love that game so much. And it has a great tune that could be dropped right into the soundtrack. On a similar note, anyone remember that crazy video game called Food Fight? The big-eyed, big-headed blonde kid runs to piles of food and throws them at the chefs chasing him around until he can reach the ice-cream cone, which he quite disturbingly devours in one bite? That was one of the funniest and freakiest video games I enjoyed.

Gee, how quickly might this make it to DVD? I could put it in my Film Studies curriculum. (I jest, I jest.)

I think my movie-going soul just died.

How about Battleship The Musical?

A film of MONOPOLY was in the works a few years ago with Steve Carrell on standby for Mr. Moneybags.

CANDYLAND was going to be developed into an animated TV series back in the '90s (or was it?).

And then there's JUMANJI, which was developed into a board game following the movie.
