“Battleship”

RIHANNA HAS A MACHO ROLE IN “BATTLESHIP”

Everyone is accustomed to seeing Rihanna in a variety of incredibly sexy outfits so her new movie will reveal a whole new side of her. The singer got her first film role in “Battleship” with Liam Neeson and Alexander Skaardgard. She plays an FBI agent with short hair, no makeup, and army camos. It’s a story about a fleet of international navy ships fighting off an alien attack. The alien creatures don’t look all that exciting, but Rihanna is hoping to get offers for more acting jobs.

If you’re wondering how Rihanna landed a role in the two hundred million dollar sci-fi movie “Battleship” with Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgard, director Peter Berg explained it all to Vogue. (The movie is about a fleet of ships forced into battling an armada of warships from unknown origins) Berg said he loved her performance on SNL last year and he wanted someone who could be funny and tough at the same time. (It sounds like she got Michelle Rodriguez’s part) It wasn’t easy – Rihanna had to sit behind a machine gun in an inflatable raft in seven foot swells for six hours at a time. Fortunately, Rihanna loves the ocean and had no trouble doing the stunts.
