Rihanna Dishes On ‘BattleShip’ Role

Despite being shot more than a year ago, Rihanna‘s big screen debut in the movie ‘Battleship‘ will be making its way to movie theaters  in coming months.

In support of the film, Ms. Fenty has dished on her experience. Discussing everything from the similarities between she and her character and why she feared one of her best friends would kill her acting coach on set.

More information below…

On her character, she explained:

She doesn’t like boys. She doesn’t like girls either. She’s just about her weapons and her work.She has balls.

On why she feared her best friend would kill her acting coach on set:

We worked with real military people, you know, people in the Navy, people who have fought in Iraq before. This one man, Donald, he pretty much drilled me, yelled at me, cursed me, made me do pushups.

My best friend was there the second time we worked together, and I said to her, “Okay, I’m about to do acting class, but you’re going to want to kill this man, so just stay in the bedroom. Don’t listen to anything he’s saying to me right now, just don’t kill him, Melissa, just stay in the bedroom.

    ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THAT STUPID?

    Or you don’t have Google. Just typing in Battleship brings the Internet Movie Database page for the movie right up, at the top. It has Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Alexander Skarsgård and Rihanna and you don’t think people are gonna see it/

    From the official film trailer that I have already seen it looks like the film appears to be following a ‘Independence Day’ type storyline, except it takes place in the ocean.

  20. bey’knight August 12, 2011

    i thought it was due out in 2012..anyways i knew that was too farout, they wrapped long ago,i dunno if i’ll go see it..i love kickass movies but i havent enough pull towards this one

  21. rihanna is the best! You will deal August 12, 2011

    @BeyKnight you talking s*** on rihanna calling her r**** yet you on her post and you are gonna see her movie! YASSSS.

    Look at all these bey stans on here. It’s more than the rih stans. *sips tea*

  22. jamir21: bey,rih,gaga,brit SHITS on janet & keri ! August 12, 2011

    F*** THE HATERS THIS MOVIE WILL BE AWESOME !!!!!!!

  23. bey’knight August 12, 2011

    @rihslut is the best! You will deal

    if i go see “her” movie it’ll have nothing to do with her, like i said im a fan of the genre. as far as i know she’s not playing any substantial role in it that’s why her name is at the bottom of the credits list. i’ll probably cringe thru her scenes cus all i’ll be seeing is a lowlife classless 5headed attention w**** delivering wooden performance

  24. Huh? August 12, 2011

    The Movie is gonna be released in May 2012. Get Your S*** Together. TGJ.

  25. lax August 12, 2011

    RIH bring it on, and oh by the way the more NEGATIVITY, THE
    BETTER , i love backward thinking people they make things so interesting
    especially when they end up with EGG on their faces ha, ha, ha,,,,,
    just think even if the MOVIE does BOMB RIH is still going to get paid.
    i know that she keeps the DOUBTERS on their meds it’s all good folks
    the kids are going to eat this movie up. if a producer sinks 200million
    in a movie don’t that make your physics kick in and tell your brain that
    this fellow must be something close to a billionaire, just saying.

  26. lax August 12, 2011

    It never ceases to amaze me & others, as to why smalled minded people or
    forever calling rihanna out of her name. it just seems like people would know that
    calling the super star out of her name is just showing that the person calling her these hateful names are feeling THEARTEN & INTIMINATED by the super star.
    and of course jealouslyy, envy & seeing rihanna winning is getting next to you.
    but hey KEEP CALLING rihanna names and BASHING HER so she can
    keep right on getting them blessings coming her way.

  27. scorpio August 12, 2011

    I’m going to laugh so hard when this ish inevitably FLOPS!

  28. jamir21: bey,rih,gaga,brit SHITS on janet & keri ! August 12, 2011

    @ Scorpio B**** SHUT UP……!!!!

  29. lax August 12, 2011

    SPELL check THREATEN my bad!!!!!!!!

  30. barbie August 12, 2011

    wow! is all I can say.

    She doesn’t even have a say in what she is doing. She doesn’t really choose what she is doing.

    Rihanna: It’s weird how it happened, I walked into a meeting, I know I had a meeting, but usually my manager would be there to prep me and say, “Okay, this is what we’re doing, this is who we’re meeting, this is why we’re doing this meeting.” What it’s about?

  31. Bey Fan… August 12, 2011

    Rihanna looks damn good in that pic…#TisAll

  32. Mr.Mr. August 12, 2011

    I have a feeling that she’ll have limited speaking parts in this film…

  33. nice_gurl August 12, 2011

    I like that picture of her. Her role is minor isn’t it?

  34. porkey August 12, 2011

    Lets see if the movie makes over 200mil because it took that to make it. We just have to see what the credits and reviews are also.

  35. SHESDUMB AKA THE SLAYER OF KELLYMOTIVATION AKA DANCE August 13, 2011

    LMAOO@ PEOPLE CALLING IT A FLOP ALREADY, I HOPE SHE ATLEAST ACTS BETTER THAN DONTDOSHITONCE.

  36. Precy August 13, 2011

    I taught she didnt lyk actin movies well cant wait 4 d movie i luv girls dat are tough in movies nd she sure goin 2 be wowzers.

  37. lola August 14, 2011

    They barely showed her in the damn trailer for this movie, what makes y’all think she’s going to have an important role? She’s going to have a small speaking part! It seems like all of Rihanna’s endeavors flop hard as hell…. her umbrella line, her stinking ass perfume, her book, and her movie roles. I bet if she took a break for a year, nobody would remember or care about her. And last time I checked “Loud” sold only 3.5 million copies not 5 million. I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SHE’S AN OFFICIAL FLOP LIKE CIARA, ASHANTI, AND EVEN JLO AND AVRIL LAVEIGN. Man… it’s taken quite a while for her 30 mins to run up!
