Taylor Kitsch Lands Big Movie Role!

Filed under: Film Flickers

Now we have a reason to see this thing! Good call, casting!

Taylor Kitsch of Friday Night Lights is set to play the lead in the new Battleship flick, adapted from the board game!

Taylor will play Alex Hopper, a "wildly spirited Naval commander who has to lead an international fleet of sea-going ships in the fight against a watery alien armada that has arrived on Earth for nefarious purposes."

Sounds like a job that doesn't require much of a uniform, so we anticipate him being shirtless for 90% of this movie.

Safe assumption, yes?

      Well, the plot sounds awful, boring, all the aliens blabla. But I'd watch anything with Taylor. He's a great actor, should get more serious roles than this.
