<P>Only a few more days until the year's biggest aliens-at-sea adventure movie <a href="http://adf.ly/50856/www.mtv.com/movies/movie/435857/moviemain.jhtml">"Battleship"</a> sails into theaters. In addition to the intrigue surrounding the sheer spectacle of the film and the very attractive cast, the Peter Berg-directed tentpole features the highly anticipated motion-picture debut of pop superstar <a href="http://adf.ly/50856/www.mtv.com/movies/person/442940/personmain.jhtml">Rihanna</a>.</P><P>In the film, Rihanna plays the no-nonsense, tough-as-nails Petty Officer Cora "Weps" Raikes, who delivers one of the film's more memorable one-liners, as well as a believably badass performance. When MTV News caught up with the "Where Have U Been" singer recently, we asked if she looked to any specific action movies or actresses for inspiration.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Rihanna Was Inspired By Other Actresses" id="vid:768883.id:1685087" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"There were a few &#8212; I won't name them, but there were a few," Rihanna admitted of studying other badass onscreen ladies. "[They were] mostly actresses I looked to and looked up to and embodied their characters and tried to see how they would approach the action. I watched a lot of bad bitches," she said with a smile.</P><P>In looking ahead toward a potential acting career, Rihanna said she doesn't have a specific five-year-plan, but she hopes to be able to explore more opportunities as they come her way.</P><P>"You can't plan for anything, the unknown really. I hadn't done anything in acting so I didn't feel like it was appropriate to have any plan," she said. "I didn't know if I would like it or be good at it. I really enjoyed the experience and I want to do more, try different types of roles so that I can see what I excel in most or like best."</P><P><b>Check out everything we've got on <a href="/movies/movie/435857/moviemain.jhtml">"Battleship."</a></P><P>For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more &#8212; updated around the clock &#8212; visit <a href="http://adf.ly/50856/moviesblog.mtv.com/">MTVMoviesBlog.com</a>.</b></P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Battleship" id="vid:677671" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>
