New International Teaser Poster for COWBOYS & ALIENS

Universal has released an international teaser poster for Jon Favreau’s upcoming sci-fi western Cowboys & Aliens.  Like the domestic poster, it appears that showing Daniel Craig’s handsome visage would send audiences running in terror rather than standing around and ridiculing the title.  But for the most part, it’s like the US poster except a different angle and color scheme.  Ultimately, you’re drawn to the juxtaposition of Craig’s western-attire and his super-fancy alien bracelet.

Hit the jump to check out the poster.  Cowboys & Aliens also stars Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Paul Dano, and Sam Rockwell.  It opens July 29, 2011.

Here’s the official synopsis for Cowboys & Aliens:

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.

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.
