• A Wagonload of Stills and a Trailer for “Cowboys & Aliens”

    Oh God oh God, pleeeze tell me Harrison Ford finally kicks some ass in this sci-fi gunsliger picture! Now granted this is from the director who brought us the likes of Iron Man and Zathura (neither of which were particularly inspiring), but LOST co-creator, Damon Lindelof, helped out with the screenplay. So I’m keeping my hopes up that this is as full of awsome as it looks.

     

     

    1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Daniel Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford).

    But as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents – townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors – all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.

    Besides what we get in the stills/trailer, the film also stars Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano and Keith Carradine.

    Ford and Craig look good but the movie…. not so much. Underwhelming trailer.

  2. David Brook says:

    I’m a sucker for cowboys – so I’m excited by default :)

    Produced by Ron Howard, Screenplay by Robert Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof. Ah, fuck, I’ll probably just skip this one, despite the casting and handsome production design.

      I can agree that the trailer doesn’t exactly inspire a whole lot of confidence, but it doesn’t break the deal either. I’m really acting on my blind Ford faith that he’ll finally rise from the ashes. It’s a great concept, great cast and it’s visually keen; so there is some serious potential here.

    Kurtzman and Orci have been doing great things with Fringe lately. And like David, I’m also a sucker for cowboys. :) I’m not really expecting a lot out of this, but I’ll give it a shot.

    Missed the Fringe connection. I’m game.

    The last western Ford did, The Frisco Kid, is a classic! That’s all I have to say.
