Cowboys and Aliens Poster and Trailer Makes me Curious

Didn't really give any interest over this movie before. Well, there is one time when it is once cast to Robert Downey Jr. But I completely removed my eye on it when he suddenly decides to be out of the project. But when I saw the first Trailer, maybe there is a very good reason to watch this movie. And yes the reason is right there on the title.





Premise:

In 1873 Arizona, a loner named Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) awakens with no memory of his past and a mysterious shackle around his wrist. He enters the town of Absolution where he learns he committed many crimes he doesn't remember and is wanted by many people, including Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford), a harsh leader who rules the town with an iron fist. But Absolution soon faces an even greater threat when mysterious forces attack the town from the sky, sparing no one in their path. While Jake's shackle holds the key to defeating them, he must align himself with Dolarhyde and other former enemies to make a stand against this mysterious and more powerful new foe.

Merging the classic wild west with futuristic motif of Alien invaders, is enough reason to be interested on a film like Cowboys and Aliens. Though I don't really dig the western part, the curiosity of seeing how will it be executed got in to me.

Olivia Wilde as Ella and Daniel Craig as Jake Lonergan
in Universal Pictures' Cowboys and Aliens.

And there are three names that also got my attention: Jon Favreau, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde. Noticed that I didn't mention Daniel Craig. He is a good actor but didn't really gave a lot of impression on me. But let's see how will he do with this movie. I hope it works.

Set to premiere on July 29, 2011, distributed by Universal Studios from Dreamworks Pictures.
