Looks like Jon Favreau’s no luddite!
Not only has the IRON MAN director taken to Twitter to announce all kinds of cool shite regarding his latest venture, the family friendly genre mélange COWBOYS & ALIENS…it appears the dude is using the technology to serve up new images from the film. A few weeks back Favreau was kind enough to give us a first glimpse at Daniel Craig rockin’ the vest and ten gallon. What’s next…a live Twitter video feed?
Not so fast. Not to say it won’t happen eventually, just not today. You see, Favs recently posted the official first set photo from COWBOYS & ALIENS, and while it doesn’t prove the most exciting, it’ll have to do for now. Take a peek below!
Starring Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde (below), Sam Rockwell, Adam Beach, Noah Ringer, Clancy Brown, Paul Dano and Keith Carrdine – COWBOYS & ALIENS looks like this:
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 dont welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). 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 (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponentstownsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriorsall in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.
The flick is due July 29th, 2011.
