Brooklyn Decker
Once movies were based on great novels. Of course, they usually ruined the story, but at least you could say, “I liked the book better.” Then, seven years ago, Jerry Bruckheimer produced a movie based on a Disney World amusement ride. The movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, with a production budget of $140 million, was a huge hit, grossing over $650 million worldwide, spawning two sequels, with one more on the way. Now a major studio is investing $200 million on a movie based on the Milton Bradley board game, Battleship. It will feature Taylor Kitsch, pop star Rihanna and “supermodel” Brooklyn Decker. This will be Rihanna’s first movie and Decker’s second.
Brooklyn Decker’s Cannons To Star In ‘Battleship’
Having moved from novels, to amusement park rides to board games, I wonder from whence the next inspiration for nautically themed movies will come. I am considering pitching an idea based on something I found stuck to the bottom of my left sea boot.
In other nautical movie news, the pathetic box office of Piranha 3-D this weekend has Slate Magazine‘s Daniel Engber wondering, “Is 3-D Dead in the Water?” If Piranha 3-D is the best they can manage, let’s hope so.
Thanks to Alaric Bond for passing on the news about and the photo of Brooklyn Decker
Battleships, cannons, hooters, dear me this old salt got a serious kick start from OLD SALT BLOG just now. Who cares if the movie is successful or flops because clearly Ms. Decker is fully gloriously attentive to her duties.
Good Watch.
Glad you liked it. We had been getting awfully serious around here. Seemed a good time to go to the movies.
