ORIGINS: "Cowboys & Aliens is a 100-page Platinum Studios 2006 graphic novel created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg and written by Fred Van Lente and Andrew Foley, with penciler Luciano Lima." [Wiki] You can view a sneak preview of the comicbook online via www.platinumstudios.com
"The script for Cowboys & Aliens is by Star Trek’s Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof (television’s Lost), based on Platinum Studios’ graphic novel created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. Grazer, Howard, Rosenberg, Kurtzman and Orci produce. Spielberg and Denis L. Stewart executive produce." [Facebook]. The "Cowboys & Aliens" movie is directed by Jon Favreau of Iron Man & Iron Man 2-fame.
Essentially it is an alien-abduction story which happens in the period wild west - 1873 in Arizona, to be exact. Cowboys and Indians unite to save their own peoples grabbed by the aliens, and Daniel "James Bond" Craig is the man with the missing memory and the device on his wrist that lays waste to the aliens. I like an uncomplicated script like that. We've posted about this movie on the blog, now shown above is the 2-minuter trailer shown in "Spike Guys Choice Awards", while below are three TV Spots, and an unhealthy amount of screengrabs for ya! And yes, I am excited to see the movie, and no, I hope no one makes toys of them - even though I can see a playlets with miniature action figures involving cowboys and indaisn and alien space-ships…
