Peter Berg discusses bringing �Battleship� to film

LOS ANGELES, May 18: Peter Berg parlayed successful acting work on TV shows like medical drama �Chicago Hope� to an even greater directing career of movies such as �Friday Night Lights,� which later became a TV series, and the Will Smith action flick �Hancock.� On Friday, Berg�s latest film, alien-invasion actioner �Battleship,� steams into theaters. It takes its title from the Hasbro board game in which two players engage in a guessing game to see who can sink the other�s naval ships. (agencies)
