Jon Favreau is taking next summer off from Iron Man to bring us a different comic based movie. Cowboys & Aliens was a graphic novel that, if you couldn’t tell from the title, was about western folk who are attacked/abducted by aliens. Daniel Craig plays a man who wakes up in the desert with a bizarre device on his wrist and no memory about who he is and how he got there. He gets into trouble when he heads into town but everyone is in trouble shortly when the device summons alien spacecrafts that start abducting people and blowing shit up. Harrison Ford co-stars and the movie also has Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde and Paul Dano. It’s a great teaser trailer in that it gives you the premise but doesn’t reveal too much and I’m always down for fun twists on the Western genre, be it zombies, aliens or anything else. It’s set to come out right in the midst of the summer blockbuster season and you can check out the trailer below.
I'm your main feature writer and co-creator and have a love for all movies from the Oscar darlings to the Bargain Bin rejects.
