Jeremy Renner to board 'Battleship'?

Actor Jeremy Renner is nominated for an Academy Award for his extraordinary performance in "The Hurt Locker," and now, the guy's also in talks to star in Peter Berg's big upcoming adventure "Battleship."

A recent Reuters news article about Oscar nominees revealed this information. It also points out Renner will shoot a film titled "Raven" soon. It's a period thriller that also has Ewan McGregor attached to it.

But hey, Renner is no stranger to acting, because his credits include "28 Weeks Later," "North Country," "S.W.A.T.," TV's "The Unusuals" and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Anyway, Renner's performance in "The Hurt Locker" really boosted the overall quality of the film, and much like Christoph Waltz, he's a guy I really want to see more and more in great projects on the big screen.
