POTATO ON THE GO BULLETIN (Movie):

For a mainstream movie fan, movies about the battle between humans and aliens has been an all-time favorite.  It never stops to sizzle and fascinate the imagination of the viewers.  But when was the last time you saw a movie that features a large scale war between humans and aliens?  It's been a while right?  But Universal Pictures has a  good news for all the movie fans out there!

On April 12 2012, the battle for Earth begins at sea. Peter Berg directs and produces Battleship, an epic-scale action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. After the blockbuster success of the toys-to-films Transformers and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Hasbro reviewed the catalogue and focused on “Battleship” as its first game-to-film. Still, the company knew it wouldn’t move forward until a crucial dilemma was resolved: how to logically transfigure a beloved property into a cohesive and entertaining motion picture.
