New COWBOYS & ALIENS trailer arrives

Trailer Movie Daniel Craig Jon Favreau Olivia Wilde Harrison Ford Cowboys & Aliens about 13 years agoby

Here is the new trailer for Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens. The film stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Adam Beach, Paul Dano and Noah Ringer. It feels like it has been ages since I watched the first trailer. Since then we have seen some cool posters and the sweet ass Super Bowl TV spot. Universal has released the new trailer for the film that is slated for release on June 29th.

Synopsis:

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 don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde. 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, 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.

I have never read the comics that this film is based on, but the moment I heard Jon Favreau was involved I was super excited. The concept of mixing the high tech world of aliens with the wild west is awesome to me. It doesn't hurt that alien movies and westerns are two of my favorite genres. This new trailer is just as good as the others. Check it out below and see for yourself!
