TRAILER: New Cowboys & Aliens trailer arrives
Though the first half of the latest Cowboys & Aliens trailer is content we’ve already seen before, the last half kicks it up a notch, and we see plenty more alien ships attacking the settlers of the West.
TRAILER: Cowboys & Aliens
There’s a new trailer for Cowboys & Aliens available for you to peer at with a keen eye.
When this movie was first announced, I had very little interest in seeing it, but now, a couple of trailers later, I’m getting psyched to see it when it arrives July 29, 2011.
TRAILER: Cowboys & Aliens
Cowboys and aliens. What more do you want in a movie? Okay, how about Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig being directed by Jon Favreau?
1875. New Mexico 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.
MOVIE: Top Cow and Platinum Studios team for Vice flick
According to Deadline, Platinum Studios and Top Cow Productions have teamed up to bring the comic Vice to the big screen.
Vice tells the story of hard-core teen felons who join the FBI’s Critical Response Unit as a way to clear their records. Their bad attitudes and formidable powers make them as dangerous as the bad guys they pursue.
Andrew Lazar will produce with Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, while Marc Silvestri and Randy Greenberg will serve as executive producers.
POSTER: New Cowboys and Aliens movie poster released
Here’s the latest poster for the upcoming Jon Favreau adaptation of Cowboys and Aliens.
Daniel Craig looks pretty awesome in this poster, and it is really clear in how the image was composited that the focus is on the two pieces of technology (gun and alien device), and not so much on the characters. It’s a perfect way to get the concept across without asking the viewer to dwell on the fact that it’s Craig standing there in a classic hero pose.
Cowboys and Aliens arrives in July.
Cowboys and Aliens teaser trailer arrives
Universal Pictures has released a teaser trailer for the upcoming Cowboys and Aliens movie that is scheduled to arrive in theaters in the Summer of 2011.
Favreau and Downey team again
While the second installment of the Iron Man series is in post production, word out of H’wood is that Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau are set to team again in another movie. This isn’t news about a third Iron Man (although I wouldn’t write that one off), but rather Platinum Studios Cowboys and Aliens movie adaptation. Downey has been signed to star in the movie for a while, but now with Favreau on board as director, expect this movie to start moving through the Hollywood Machine pretty quickly.
The sci-fi Western explores what would happen if the traditional Old West enemies — cowboys and Native Americans — found the prairie attacked by aliens in mid-1800s Arizona.
And even though there is a pretty bad taste in everyone’s mouths about Platinum Studios (go check the archives) the company has been able to bring some pretty big names on board the project, including Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who wrote the relaunched Star Trek franchise movie, and that Transformers movie as well.
Magdalena movie still in the works
Platinum Studios and Valhalla Motion Pictures have hired Ryuhei Kitamura to direct the movie adaptation of Top Cow Productions’ Magdalena property.
The Magdelena character, which first appeared in 1998, is a descendant of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. She has the ability to see into the human heart to give people a choice to redeem their sins.
Holly Brix has been tapped to write the screenplay.
Cowboys v. Aliens: The Made for Cable Movie
No, it’s not the Platinum Studios title that is finally made, but rather James Marsters donning the cowboy gear and attempting to kick some alien butt.
James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Cindy Sampson (Supernatural) star in this action-packed World Premiere thriller from RHI Entertainment, a small town in the untamed West comes under attack by a full-scale alien invasion. No one invited them, but nothing can stop them!
All the goodness arrives June 1, 2009.
More after the jump.
Aphrodite IX Goes 3D
Aphrodite IX, the sexy cyborg assassin, is getting the 3D treatment for the upcoming feature film.  Platinum Studios, Threshold Entertainment, and Top Cow Productions are teaming up to bring the comic to the silver screen.
Threshold’s Larry Kasanoff and Platinum chairman and CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg are producing. Top Cow CEO Marc Silvestri and former Universal Pictures exec Randy Greenberg of the Greenberg Group are execu¬tive producers. Top Cow president Matt Hawkins and Platinum’s Rich Marincic are co-producing.
If this is going to be 3D, I wonder who the target audience is going to be. This could certainly be the Heavy Metal of its time if done in a way to traget the adult male demographic.
Vikings vs. Aliens
Looks like someone in Europe got the jump on Platinum Studios’ Aliens vs. Cowboys by not only changing the time period, but also the location.
Looks like an interesting movie, but all those well spoken English accents is a bit odd.
