    Battleship

    Watching Cowboys & Aliens, I saw a preview of the upcoming movie "Battleship".. it has a bunch of Burkes, but topping them all is Liam Nielsen on the bridge of an Iowa and her firing a broadside at an alien warship. Opening next may..

    "prepare to fire" sir, which weapons.. ALL OF THEM..

    It seems as of late with their brief cameo in the new X-Men movie, another in the new Hawaii 5-0 series, NCIS and now this that nostalgia has come to visit the BB's once again. A bonus as I do like Liam Neeson in a few of his roles. In this movie he plays Admiral Shane.

    Its slated for release in May 2012.

    A very brief description :Battleship (2012) - IMDb

    Hey Rusty and Whiskey, maybe they will give us a plug...

    When I was watching the trailer (Also at Cowboys vs. Aliens), I had no idea what it was until the aliens fired pegs. I am definitely watching it when it comes out, simply for the amusement factor.

    I have to guess that someone in holywood has a soft spot for them. For the Iowas to continually turn up has to be more than coincidence, and to most people any ship thats not an aircraft carrier is a battleship.

    Looks amusing. Using a battleship against an alien ship? Neat

    BB's also made an appearance in the cheesy SyFy Channel's "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus", and I believe in "Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus". Both pretty recent movies.
