Rihanna will make her big screen debut in Battleship.

The singer will star alongside True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard and Taylor Kitsch in the movie, loosley based on the popular board game of the same name.

The movie – directed by Hancock helmer Peter Berg – takes place across land, sea and air and sees the planet fighting for survival against an alien invader known as The Regents, Variety.com reports.

Kitsch is set to play a naval officer who leads the fight against the invading species, while Skarsgard will play his brother. It is not yet known what role Rihanna will play.

Jon and Erich Hoeber wrote the original script for the movie, which has been revised by Brian Koppleman and David Levien.

The film will be told from both sides of the battle – humans and aliens – and it is known that the alien ships will lose their ability to fly once in earth's atmosphere.

Battleship is due to hit cinemas in May 2012.

The people's comments

Surely the dumbest game ever to be made into a movie (and that's including the fact that they're working on Monopoly!) Make a movie about a ridiculous alien invasion by all means, but don't pretend it's from a boardgame. I don't recall land, sea and air, or aliens in Battleships, but it probably would have helped :)
