The title COWBOYS & ALIENS can be both a blessing and a curse. The title has led some audiences to believe the film is something of a comedy or maybe a little bit goofy (and, in fairness, it once was back when Robert Downey, Jr. was involved and Lonergan was more of a Tony Stark fast-talker). But Jon Favreau's version is played completely straight as a western film that just happens to feature an alien invasion.

As Favreau explains below, COWBOYS & ALIENS is a lot like JoBlo.com. Hey, it's his metaphor, not mine! How exactly is the Daniel Craig - Harrison Ford starring blockbuster like our site? I'll leave it to you to find out.

Great interview. I love the fact that they've held back. I've probably seen more previews for C&A than any other film this year, yet I still don't know much about it. Definitely seeing it this weekend.

Favreau is awesome. I didn't even realize he did Zathura, which I HATED. Actually, just today I found out he did Elf, which I liked. Anywho, I look forward to C&A and I really wish he would do Iron Man 3.

Favs has so much passion for his project, which makes me want to see it even more - the guy likes to talk. He obviously still has Zathura's numbers on his mind; hoping C&A is a financial success but I have no idea what to expect...28-32 Million opening weekend??? but hoping for more. I don't live in North America, so I don't know how heavily advertised it has been. Any other predictions?
