Nice to know the wire we see taking someone isn't a movie prop but an alien device.

 

[Hyperspace05]

Yeah that was an interesting tidbit. Funny clip. I like his approach.

Favreau is a man I've enjoyed in (and behind) movies for a long time.

When I first saw the trailer I didn't see the wire, but the second time I did a double take having seen the wire. Thought it was just missed cause they might be rushing the trailer. Glad to know it's intentional, kind of like a grappling hook I suppose.

Looks like this has the potential to be a lot of fun.

 

[TrueBlueMug]

I wasn't a huge fan of Iron Man 2, but agree this one could be fun. I love Favreau's conversational style ala Dinner for Five.

I saw the trailer today. I'm not sure I'll be able to take the movie as seriously as they intend, but it does look like fun. Enough fun to add to my Netflix queue, not necessarily to see in the theater.

 

[Spot's Meow]

I'm kind of worried. The movie seems to be taking a serious approach akin to "War of the Worlds" but the general audience might assume from the title it will be a funny action adventure movie.

From some comments on other boards people who saw the trailer attached to Harry Potter in the audience called it "stupid" or laughed

I noticed this when I saw the trailer in the theater yesterday - when the aliens shoot onto the screen and then when the title popped up, people were laughing quite a bit.

 

[Argus Skyhawk]

^That's too bad. I know the premise is silly (although it shouldn't be any more silly than aliens attacking Washington DC like they usually do) but the trailer looks pretty intriguing to me. Also, Harrison Ford looks so natural in a western setting, it makes me surprised he hasn't been cast in westerns more often.

 

[Captain Craig]

There is a new poster courtesy of Empire.

It looks like director Jon Favreau's had AC/DC's Back In Black playing on a loop again, because the new international poster for Cowboys And Aliens is heavy on the dark stuff. But happily for all those of us who are getting more and more excited about it, it's also bloomin' cool and gives us a taste of what we're in for: old-fashioned gunslingers, and alien technology. Win!

Cowboys and Aliens will be upping it's awareness factor during the SuperBowl this year.

The spot is confirmed.

Director Jon Favreau and Universal Studios announced today you'll be seeing a Super Bowl spot for Cowboys & Aliens, starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Adam Beach, Paul Dano, Noah Ringer, Keith Carradine, Clancy Brown, Ana de la Reguera and Abigail Spencer.

Favreau tweeted that they are cutting the trailer right now for the film, opening in theaters on July 29, 2011.

The fact that they are "cutting the trailer right now" is an optimistic sign to me that this SuperBowl trailer is going to have new footage from the one released back in late November. Can't wait!!

 

[Captain Craig]

Here is the spot for the Super Bowl that aired last night. Some new footage mixed in to the spot.

Newest spot since the SuperBowl to air this Thursday, 4/14, during American Idol for Cowboys & Aliens.

Universal Pictures announced today that the full-length trailer for Cowboys & Aliens will debut during a commercial break of Fox's "American Idol" on Thursday, April 14. The trailer will come online following the TV premiere.

I don't watch AI so I'll be checking online to see what the new trailer looks like.

Everything up to this point looks like it'll be a fun movie!

 

[Trekker4747]

You'd think they would've aired the trailer last night during Oliva Wilde's return to House.

Monday saw the release of the all new domestic poster for Cowboys & Aliens.

Today, Tuesday, they unveiled the new international poster for the film.

I don't get it, do they not think the North American market would like a pretty lady on the poster?!

Still slated to open July 29th

 

[Trekker4747]

Indeed, Olivia Wilde on a poster=gold. But I do like the look of the NA poster more, but sheesh what's with the lens flares these days?

 

[The Wormhole]

I know this is done a lot with movie posters, but I'm going to ask it anyway: why aren't the actor's names lined up with the appropriate actor on the international poster? EG, why is Daniel Craig's name next to Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford's name with Daniel Craig, and Olivia Wilde's name with Harrison Ford?

 

[Skywalker]

While there's no such thing as too much Olivia Wilde, I prefer the look of the North American poster, too.

The order in which names appear are a matter of which actor has top billing. The folks who put together the posters have nothing to do with that sort of stuff. It's more likely that the art people slap the poster together, and then the marketing people put the title, tagline, cast list, release date, etc., over the artwork.
