If you aren\u2019t familiar with this model-turned-actor you soon will be, <em>Battleship<\/em> is just one of three cinema releases that he\u2019ll be starring in this summer &#8211; the other two being the much talked about <em>John Carter<\/em> and Oliver Stone\u2019s <em>Savages<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Battleship\" href=\"http:\/\/www.battleshipmovie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Battleship<\/a> is a science fiction naval war film directed by Peter Berg and due for UK release next month. It tells the story of an intense battle between an international naval fleet and an alien species known as \u2018The Regents\u2019 &#8211; who have come to Earth with the intention of building a power source in its oceans. The trailer suggests full-on action and special effects and is more than reminiscent of the <em>Transformers<\/em> trilogy &#8211; which came from the same company, Hasbro. With a rumoured budget of around US$200 million action fans are expecting to be entertained!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Kitsch recently told Cover Media: \u201cIts going to be truly a summer blockbuster. The cast is great and so is Pete. This film is really going to rock a lot of people.\u201d The sort-after star will appear in <em>Battleship<\/em> alongside Liam Neeson &#8211; who plays the part of his superior officer Admiral Shane &#8211; and <a title=\"singer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/talent-register\/index\/type\/singer\/\" target=\"_blank\">singer<\/a> Rihanna &#8211; who plays a weapons specialist named Raikes. We couldn\u2019t help wondering about Rihanna\u2019s ability to be believable in this role but Berg seems impressed with her acting abilities:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was surprised no one had ever thought to hire Rihanna,&#8221; he recently told MTV News. &#8220;I was a huge fan of her videos. Obviously she&#8217;s sexy, but she has this real intensity. When I met with her, she came in a T-shirt and jeans, no makeup, very natural and she was like, &#8216;Look, I want to <a title=\"become an actress\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/talent-register\/index\/type\/actor\" target=\"_blank\">become an actress<\/a>. Don&#8217;t kiss my a&#8211;. Don&#8217;t lie to me, push me! Treat me as you would any other actor. Help make me good.&#8217; She is really, really good in Battleship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kitsch said of his co-star Rihanna: \u201cShe is very sweet, very sweet.\u201d But when asked if he gave her any advice himself during the making of the film he responded: \u201cNo, I didn\u2019t give her any advice that is not my job. That\u2019s up to Peter, I think she is in very good hands when she is with Peter Berg.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Models, actors and <a title=\"booking agents\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/talent-hire\/\" target=\"_blank\">booking agents<\/a> at Talent Management look forward to seeing the film in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talent Management are excited to hear that former male model Taylor Kitsch will soon be back on our screens in predicted blockbuster Battleship. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,55,7],"tags":[1794,50,1793],"class_list":["post-7103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-actors","category-films","category-models","tag-battleship","tag-rihanna","tag-taylor-kitsch"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
