Cowboys AND Aliens? Yes! [Trailers]

Cowboys and Aliens

I’ll admit, when I heard the title Cowboys and Aliens I imagined a cheesy film that was more like a Men in Black-style comedy. After all, it doesn’t sound like something that could take itself too seriously.

But you’ll think otherwise when you see the trailer, which was released today on Yahoo Movies.

Check out the Cowboys & Aliens trailer for all the Old West meets E.T. goodness.

Here’s how DreamWorks Studios describes the film:

Blockbuster filmmaker Jon Favreau directs Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde in an event film for summer 2011 that crosses the classic Western with the alien-invasion movie in a blazingly original way: Cowboys & Aliens. Joined by an arsenal of top moviemakers-Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci-he brings an all-new action thriller that will take audiences into the Old West, where a lone cowboy leads an uprising against a terror from beyond our world.

The script by Star Trek’s Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof (television’s Lost) is based on Platinum Studios’ graphic novel created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg.

So, what do you think? Is this a film worth seeing in the summer of 2011. We know it’s going to be a busy summer, but we’re already planning to see this one on opening night.
