Taylor Kitsch’s Failed ‘Transformers’ Replacement Gets Second Chance on Netflix
By Chris McPherson
Chris is a Senior News Writer at Collider, known for his expertise in movies, TV shows, and all things pop culture. He enjoys sarcasm, wit, and long coffee-fueled hours.
For reasons unknown, he has a peculiar fascination with box office receipts, giant sharks, and is the go-to guy for everything related to Bosch, Mission: Impossible, and Christopher Nolan within Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself embracing the Dutton family drama in Yellowstone.
His skills include sarcasm, Photoshop mastery, and working impossibly long hours. Among his passions are the history of The Walt Disney Company, theme park construction, steam trains, and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a hot enough coffee to scald him.
He is particularly passionate about Taylor Sheridan's work but is often met with eye-rolling from his colleagues when expressing this enthusiasm. His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is a running joke within the Senior News channel.
Summary
Hollywood has transformed various forms of entertainment into blockbuster movies, including comic books, video games, toys, and even board games. In 2012, Peter Berg faced an unusual challenge adapting Battleship, a popular board game, into a movie.
Fourteen years later, Battleship is making a comeback on Netflix in the US as audiences get another chance to experience this sci-fi blockbuster.
