With the recent casting of Daniel Craig and Olivia Wilde in director Jon Favreau’s (Iron Man, Elf) Cowboys and Aliens movie, it was clear things were moving full steam ahead on Favreau’s next project after Iron Man 2. While the release date was scheduled for sometime in 2011, with Battleship sailing to 2012, Universal has announced Cowboys and Aliens will take over the July 29, 2011 release date.
What that means is…Comic-Con 2011 is going to be awesome.
More after the jump:
Cowboys and Aliens is scheduled to start filming this July and it’s been written by Roberto Orci/Alex Kurtzman (Transformers, Star Trek) and Damon Lindelof (Lost). The film is set in Arizona during the 1800s and follows a group of cowboys and Apache Indians as they band together to fight hostile aliens.
While it’s unclear if Favreau is going 3D with C&A, I’m going to guess he will. After all, aliens invading the planet always looks better in 3D.
While I haven’t read the comic it’s based on, with the insane talent on this project, this is easily one of my most anticipated films of 2011.
With Favreau getting ready to start promoting Iron Man 2 in the coming months, we’re going to hear a lot of news about Cowboys and Aliens soon. Get ready.
Thanks to the wrap for the heads up on the release date.

I'm still bummed that Downey dropped out of this because I would have loved to seen him and Favs take on different material. They work so well together. But alas, RDJ has to go be King of the Franchises.
But I am really looking forward to this. I think it's going to be fun.
..what's that insane talent you talk about? I only see Favreau around..
Damon Lindelof is one of the creators and head writers of the greatest show in the history of television!
This one looks like it could be a lot of fun. Looking forward to it
Years ago, around 1998 or so, I pitched my western to some 18 year kid from Dreamworks. He barely listened as he interrupted and told me about this movie they were making-COWBOYS FIGHTING ALIENS in the 1800's…
That was over 10 years ago.
Good luck and WHATEVER.
