This August, we will be watching Jon Favreau's adaptation on the popular anime, starring Daniel Craig (been a badass), Harrison Ford (an old badass), Olivia Wilde (hot chick) and Sam Rockwell in Cowboys and Aliens. An early look into the movie's editing bay and trailers have been pretty exciting and positive. With the summer is looming closer, we are now able to glitch into a brand new trailer from the movie. Have a look below:
Plot Synopsis is as follows:
"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."
Now, while this trailer consists of the familiar first half from the first teaser trailer, the second part reveals more on the alien's tentacles and what's not, while offering a little depth into the story and Olivia Wilde's character. Certainly, director Jon Favreau still holds a lot of things back and it is only time when we will know how magnificent this movie will be. Contrary to your customary alien invasion pics, this genre-bending film explores the Western styles as well but we have yet to see any Red Indians - the Apache I mean, much yet. Daniel Craig, is certainly looks like another badass whose personal story is as mysterious as the whole plot goes. Now we know something, a bit about his past!
Are you excited about Cowboys and Aliens? Directed by Jon Favreau with the production teams of Stephen Spielberg, Ron Howard and Brian Glazer, this Universal Pictures production is something we could watch for this summer. It opens in the United States on July 29 and in Malaysia three weeks later.
