Jon Favreau, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Damon Lindelof. What do all these names have in common? Each of them serve a pivotal role in the making of Cowboys & Indians, an upcoming sci-fi western. Yes, a SCI-FI WESTERN. It is COWBOYS VERSUS ALIENS. And the human regime is led by the dashing Daniel Craig, the sexy Olivia Wilde, and in a villainous role the veteran Harrison Ford. The flick is based on a 2006 graphic novel created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. Until now this movie has been shrouded in secrecy; only bits and pieces were shown at this year’s Comic Con. But hot damn does this trailer impress. Lone cowboy Jake Lonergan (Craig), equipped with some foreign weapon attached to his arm, is ready to take on a full scale alien invasion set in the wild west. Um, where do I line up? Right–the movie releases July 29, 2011. Check out some awesome stills in the gallery below.
