With shooting already underway in Hawaii, Peter Berg has added a respectable name to join his motley crew cast that currently includes Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, pop star Rihanna, Tom Arnold, Hamish Linklater and model Brooklyn Decker.
Deadline reports that Liam Neeson, who is no stranger to terrible blockbusters (hello, “Clash Of The Titans,” “The A-Team”), has joined the film. The actor will play “Admiral Shane, the Naval officer whose daughter (Decker) is engaged to a young naval officer played by Taylor Kitsch.” And how much do you want to bet that Neeson will think Kitsch isn’t good enough for his daughter blah blah blah aliens battle saving lives blah blah blah.
In case you missed it, you can check out some recent photos of Rihanna pretending to pretend that she’s in the Navy. The future cult camp classic (with aliens to boot) will hit theaters on May 18, 2012. It’s a musical, right?
To be fair (not that this movie really deserves it) Kitsch is actually pretty damn good on Friday Night Lights. I think it may be a little unfair bunching him with Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker.
"the a-team" was almost fun
Whatever, aliens + explosions = count me in.
Plus Skarsgard (Generation Kill), Kitsch (FNL) and Neeson (everything) are all pretty damn good actors.
Man, Neeson has been slumming it lately.
