| Rihanna in BattleShip |
Battleship will be cruising into cinemas next month, and
it marks the acting debut of pop megastar Rihanna.
Total Film recently caught up with director Peter Berg to
discussed how Rihanna came to be in this picture.
On the appeal of casting Rihanna in Battleship, Berg said:
“I saw one of her videos and she was really cocky and sassy, very scrappy.
There was a certain inherent toughness to her.”
He then continued, “Everyone
thought I was crazy but I put a call out and asked her to come in. She was
funny and tough, a natural performer.”
Berg also suggested that he’d be keen to convert other
musical stars into actors:
“I’ve found that a lot of singers inherently love to
perform; I guarantee you that Bono would be a great actor if we found the right
role.”
Battleship opens on 11 April 2012.
