‘Battleship’ Gets Some Respectability, Liam Neeson Joins Cast

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?
