“Universal was kind enough to say, ‘Let’s give it the resources it needs,’” Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner told MTV News. “This idea of a flotilla of ships that run across the early stages of an alien invasion provided a good backdrop for a great summer movie.”

“We’re really so pleased with our Universal relationship and we think that their management team really gets it and for us and for them, they saw the concept of ‘Battleship’ coming to life,” he said. “Peter Berg and his team did such a tremendous job in building this big alien-adventure film.”
