Tom Arnold takes on Battleship

Tom Arnold, the comedic relief in True Lies which seems to be the only thing anyone remembers him by, is returning once more to the big screen to take part in the board game turned action/adventure feature Battleship from Universal Pictures. Sorry, there still is not much going around of their being a True Lies 2 movie, for those who are strangely craving it. Movieline got the quick scoop straight from the actor’s mouth, making him the newest addition to the cast within the past couple of days for the Peter Berg directed explosion of a film.

Taylor Kitsch is already attached to play the lead in the script put together by Jon and Erich Hoeber. The film revolves around a fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals. Scott Stuber, Brian Goldner, Sarah Aubrey, Bennett Schneir and Berg will all be producing the picture expected to be released on May 25th, 2012.
