Cowboys & Aliens
-9vMOTzOrE
Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell(my favorite actor of all time), Olivia Wilde (number 4 on my top ten remember?) and a production team including Iron Man’s Jon Favreau, Brian Grazer and Ron Howard? COME ON! If that is all you had told me about this film- I’d be interested in watching the damn thing… But then you add this teaser trailer and… well… aside from the glaringly simple title (something that seems to just work with this concept) I’m giddy with anticipation. Giddy. Giddy-up!
Here’s the thing- Jon Favreau does very well with high concept action pieces… very well indeed. I’ll just say, I have very high hopes for this. The teaser is cut in a fairly unique fashion- giving us story, without giving anything away… I mean… all I know is that Daniel Craig has a super bracelet and can shoot down UFO’s with it. All the while teaming up with lawman Harrison Ford, Oh and they try to attack an alien race that are obviously more technologically advanced than the Old West… I mean, how are you supposed to defeat an alien enemy without Will Smith, Ian Malcom and a Nuke?
The thing that disappointed me most about the trailer is that I didn’t really get a good sample of Mr. Craig’s southern drawl- NOR did I see any of Sam Rockwell, upsetting to say the least.
