Alien films abound this year with Skyline already released, Battle: Los Angeles coming up and now director Jon Favereau's latest. The Favereau's (Swingers) film Cowboys and Aliens is changing time periods, in favour of the Old West (1800s). But instead of the cowboys lassoing little green men, the extraterrestrials round up little pink meatsacks known as humans for unknown delights. Have a look at the first movie poster for this feature and prepare for Universal Studios to add their alien franchise into the mix, with this trailer their warning shot.

The synopsis for the film is here:

"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.

Continues...

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" (Film-Book).
