Peter Berg is actually a fairly decent director. Seriously. Friday Night Lights. The Kingdom. And even Hancock. All good movies. So why, in the name of all that is holy in movie-land, is he in talks to direct a Battleship movie?

Oh, yeah, you heard right--Battleship, folks. As in, "you sank my..." The filmmaker is in talks to direct a big-screen version of the Hasbro board game for Universal. Jon and Erich Hoeber have signed on to write the script. Apparently, the studio is looking to make an epic naval action adventure. No plot details have been announced.

Lest you forget: Universal has several board game titles in development as part of its six-year deal with Hasbro. Ouija Board is being produced by Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes shingle, Candy Land has Kevin Lima attached to direct with Etan Cohen writing the script, and Ridley Scott is developing a project based on Monopoly.

What the fuck is this world coming to?
