It was just a couple weeks ago that we got our first look at Jon Favreau’s COWBOYS & ALIENS. Now that first look was fine and dandy… but it wasn’t anything too official. Actually it was just part of some test shots Favreau and company were doing. Unfortunately today we don’t have any new looks at the film. but we do have a new name joining the already impressive cast!
According to Variety, Adam Beach is the newest name to join the western sci-fi adventure! Beach (right), who’s probably most known for his television work on “Law & Order: SVU” and “Big Love,” joins Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano and Olivia Wilde (below) in the film. He’ll be playing ‘Nat Colorado,’ a half-Apache who works for Ford’s character.
1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Craig) 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 (Ford). 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 (Olivia Wilde), 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 for survival.
