We guess it was over even before it even began!

Gerard Butler was SUPPOSED to begin production on a new movie called Motor City, a revenge drama also starring Adrien Brody and Mickey Rourke, late this month, but in a surprising move, the film backers have shut down the project and sent the crew packing!

Why?

Because

The cast of Battleship reunited this weekend in front of the Battleship Missouri Memorial in Pearl Harbor for the film's latest photocall.

Rihanna was dressed casually in a beige Acne crop top, black wide leg pants and black heels while co-star Brooklyn Decker went for a more Hawaiian chic look in a Dolce & Gabbana floral print dress, white blazer and nude pumps

The two lovelies were joined by director Peter Berg, Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, and the director of the U.S. Army Wounded Warrior Program,Col. Gregory D. Gadson.

Which look was UR fave???

BOOM.

Many critics thought Battleship was a gamble with a $209 million dollar budget and the failure of John Carter fresh in everyone's minds.

But, the blockbuster proved the naysayers wrong as it opened number one in every country it premiered except France and is now expected to make $300 million dollars in overseas sales alone!

Sure, the action film has a long ways to go before then, but Battleship is off to a rocking good start as its Day One estimate is expected to be $7.4 million!

Aliens, Explosions, and Rihanna… Oh my!!!

Here's a present we've gift wrapped for all of y'all who are as excited as we are for the new science fiction action film!

While the film has an amazing line-up of stars in the cast — like RiRi, Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgard — this sneak peek is more about the other most important element in Battleship: the effects!

This does look similar to Transformers, but since Battleship is coming from Peter Berg, the creator of Friday Night Lights, we know this flick is going to have a great story along with the great special effects!!!

Ch-ch-check out the trailer (above!)

Spoiler Alert: someone sinks a battleship. LOL.

This is a much better choice!

Lost's Josh Holloway may have a new job!

NBC is eyeing the smoking hot actor to star in their reboot of the '70s private-eye TV show The Rockford Files.

Now that Dermot Mulroney is out, producers believe he would be the perfect choice to take over the iconic role that James Garner made famous.

The first attempt to revive the franchise failed big time when critics said "[It] looked like it was shot in the ’70s."

Steve Carrell and Peter Berg are among the producers that are behind the project, along with House's David Shore who says that “NBC is still high on the project. They would like it to happen. Peter Berg’s involved producing and possibly directing and we will be looking for a new lead.”

Shore adds that Holloway is a “viable choice,” but “it’s too premature” to start naming names.

We weren't too sure about Dermot Mulroney, but we think Josh is a MUCH better fit for the role!
