Would you guys go see Battleship if Sam Raimi produced or directed it? Because he’s pretty much doing that. He’s not involved in Battleship per se, but he and District 9 producer Bill Block are working together to get the sci-fi epic EDF (Earth Defense Force) off the ground.

The story sounds like the usual aliens vs. Earth fare. It begins when a squad of aviators venture into Chinese waters to rescue submarine‘s distress call. When they get there, the Chinese attack. Naturally, it’s all an alien trap that both sides have foolishly walked into and they are blown out of the sky. Then the aliens go and jack up a bunch of landmarks and military bases before disappearing. Earth then must put its differences aside and pull it together before the aliens return and house our remaining landmarks. F*cking aliens, man. No word yet on whether Raimi will direct but it’s more likely he will serve as a producer. At any rate, let’s hope Bruce Campbell still has that Admiral costume from a few Halloweens ago. (Vulture)
