One flick I haven’t been paying much attention to is Jon Favreau’s COWBOYS & ALIENS. Mind you it’s not because of lack of interest, just lack of attention. In a Summer filled with blockbusters we haven’t really been getting much from COWBOYS & ALIENS… until now that is!
You see today not only do we have a nifty little gimmick video Favreau did with YouTube star Freddie Wong but we’ve also got a couple videos jam-packed with behind the scenes B-roll footage! Are you excited? Good, you should be! The videos can be found directly below with the B-roll also up over in our videos section. Don’t say I never gave you anything.
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 dont welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde. Its 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 hes 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 for survival.
COWBOYS & ALIENS sports an impressive cast that includes Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde (below), Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano, Clancy Brown, Keith Carradine, Ana de la Reguera, Walton Goggins, Noah Ringer, Adam Beach, David O’Hara, Buck Taylor, Abigail Spencer and Toby Huss. The battle begins July 29th!
