Cowboys & Aliens Teaser Has Amnesia, Gadget Arms, Olivia Wilde
Not too shabby but at this point I'm starting to wonder if Kurtzman and Orci actually write lens flares in to their scripts. Either way this looks pretty fun and even though Iron Man 2 was borderline offensive it's pretty clear Favreau knows how to make a good film, remember he didn't direct Couples Retreat. Of course it's a special kind of bonus whenever you get to see "Someone pissed in my Fruit Loops" Harrison Ford, even if he doesn't have the same Inspector Gadget surgery that Daniel Craig did.
My one fear from this trailer is Hollywood decides to remake all the old Clint Eastwood movies with Daniel Craig. Please don't do that.
Synopsis:
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.
