Cowboys and Aliens
Daniel Craig (Casino Royale), Olivia Wilde (Year One), Harrison Ford (Indy and Han Solo) , Sam Rockwell (Moon) and Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood) are all onboard Director Jon Favreau’s (Ironman 1 & 2) latest comic book adaptation “Cowboys & Aliens.”
In what sounds like a pitch conjured on the playground, a group of Apache Indians and Western settlers stop fighting each other and form an uneasy alliance when a spaceship crash-lands and aliens stake their claim in their territory.
The producers on this project, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Steven Spielberg (Shindler’s List, Jaws) are no slouches and obviously see a blockbuster with this Sci-Fi western.

I did see the promo.
It’s clear that this comic has a nice built in fan base. That can be good (Road to Perdition, Kick-Ass) or a liability (Jonah Hex, The Watchmen). I’ll admit I’d be interested in seeing any kind of Western that Howard/Glazer/Spielberg put together, aliens or not.

Haven’t seen this comic yet, but have you seen the Scott Pilgrim promo?
