This year Rihanna will appear as Petty Officer (GM2) Cora Raikes in the Peter Berg-produced film Battleship, which is loosely based on the game of the same name, due for release in May 2012. In March 2012, Rihanna appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show in the UK, where, when asked if she was having any time off, she stated that she is taking a break from recording new music in 2012 but will feature on some music collaborations and videos. She expressed that she wants to focus more on her film career following the filming of Battleship.
