I first heard about this movie a couple of years ago from the Robert Downey Jr. fans' grapevine. At the time, RDJ was being rumored to play a role in Cowboys and Aliens but had to back out. From further reading, I gathered that RDJ chose to work on the Sherlock Holmes sequel instead.
Anyhow, even with Iron Man out, James Bond and Indiana Jones are there to save the day so this must still be a good film to look forward to :) Besides, Jon Favreau is directing.
Press Release:
1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger 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. It’s a town that lives in fear.
But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.
Now, 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, 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
Fresh off the success of Iron Man 2, director Jon Favreau takes on Cowboys and Aliens. Starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford – as the leads in the sci-fi-meets-western romp. It additionally features a top-notch supporting cast that includes Olivia Wilde along with Sam Rockwell and Noah Ringer.
