I’ve had Cowboys and Aliens on the radar since way back when Robert Downey Jr. was attached to the lead role. I’ve been following along through all the casting news and changes and I’m glad today we finally get a look at what Jon Favreau’s latest to get a better understanding of what’s in store for us in theaters.

This actually looks really good to me. It has the theme and feel of a western through and through and then WAM we get hit with a spaceship and alien abductions that seem more in place in War of the Worlds than a western… but it works! Or at least it seems that way from this trailer. I had apprehension about Daniel Craig in the role primarily due to the fact that the guy is British and I wondered how he would handle his accent and I guess they made him smoke a pack of cigars before each scene. Good. Let the action speak mostly for itself and carry me into my theater seat.
“I wondered how he would handle his accent and I guess they made him smoke a pack of cigars before each scene”
Ya, thats the same thing they did for Christian Bale in The Dark Knight and Terminator Salvation.
It looks fun in a campy sense. So long as it doesn’t take itself too seriously, I bet it’ll be some good popcorn fun.
Audio Slave music in the back ground interesting. I dig the whole idea of having it has the tone of a western more than in sci fi flick.
This looks really good. Big summer for these types of movies. Big fan of sci fi and westerns so this is a welcome combination in my book.
This is starting to grow on me, Jon making a Western/Alien flick should be a treat, W/ Harrison Ford to boot!
Now I’m in.
