Yet another movie to look forward to next summer! Universal has debuted the first teaser trailer via Yahoo for Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens, the comic book adaptation starring Daniel Craig as Civil War vet Jake Lonergan. The cast also includes Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Adam Beach, Paul Dano, Noah Ringer and Clancy Brown. The footage I saw at Comic-Con was awesome, and this teaser is plenty of that same stuff, but it's still great to see. Favreau is an expert at building up buzz and this teaser will do just that - it looks great! The aliens have an old school, vintage sci-fi feel and the western stuff look solid. Enjoy!

Craig plays Jake Lonergan, a stranger with no memory of his past who stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. But the town is soon invaded by aliens and Jake must pull together a posse comprised of former opponents to combat these extraterrestrials. In addition to Daniel Craig, Cowboys & Aliens also stars Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Noah Ringer, Clancy Brown and the legendary Harrison Ford as Col. Dolarhyde. Jon Favreau is directing this adaptation from a screenplay co-written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci & Damon Lindelof. Universal is bringing Cowboys & Aliens in only 2D to theaters on July 29th, 2011 next summer.

Jon Favreau has yet to let me down. Plus Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and the hotness that is Olivia Wilde... I'm in.

This looks even more awesome than I thought. Love how it teases you and doesn't show too much, but is still extremely satisfying.

I thought Craig was playing Lonergan? He isn't refered to as Zeke in the trailer. Is this something in the Graphic Novel? Awesome Trailer..

Not too impressed. Harrison Ford looked out of place in that trailer and the visual effects and the CGI in the "skyline" alien abductions were again not too impressive. The movie synopis in itself is great, but that trailer was stale.

Olivia, Sam and Daniel~This looks awesome-I'm SO in!

That's no teaser, that's a full-frontal preview. I'm not impressed. BUT. The director, producers, and exec producers have me thinking it'll surprise me.

As I mention on my blog not only is this a great trailer, but it also made me realize that Favreau doesn't get enough respect as a director even after directing a couple great movies. This movie has a true western feel to it and yet again makes you easily buy into his fantastical worlds.

Harrison Ford looks so awesome in this. Overall, this looks spectacular.

Aha looks great 😉 though I got a western Jason Bourne feel in the opening scene aha

I just shat my pants, now put captain jack spaarow in this movie and you got yourself a movie!

I liked the beginning part with the bandits. Then it got really strained. But that's a good thing. Not much was shown other than the initial confrontation-- which means there will be some wicked scenes later on.

people are coming to conclusions based on a teaser?!? ridiculous, and i'm not talking about the teaser... on topic, what a tease! 🙂

Any movie with Daniel Craig is a good movie

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH #2 (Kevin) & #5 (Gadder4311)! Pretty impressive!

If this wasn't a western it would be old and stale. The western elements took an old story and made it into a must see movie next year.

LOOKS BORING

Looks OK, but so does every trailer.

#14, you're a douchebag, shut up. #32 it looks boring, cause you're a manic depressent loser... and pry homosexual #28 this isnt green lantern #17 who cares if you're not impressed, nobody. #23 Captain Jack Sparrow?!? Are you for real?
Big Hoss on Nov 17, 2010
35
#34 haha true but I dont know man!!! it didnt look as cool as what I thought it was gonna be like.
drcherd on Nov 17, 2010
36
top three reasons Big Hoss is an ass clown: 1. He calls himself Big Hoss 2. he had nothing funny or intelligent to add, other than glib remarks. 3. He makes lists like this p.s. i was kidding about the Jack sparrow comment Dumb Ass! and what the Hell is "pry Homosexual?"

Based on #34, it looks like the studio people are on full damage control. It's easy to manufacture false "i like it" comments with tens of different aliases on this site.

That trailer was terrible. Terrible acting by Ford and sucky alien scenes. (#37 proving a point)

But really, the trailer WAS bad.

Awesome! I am exhilaratingly teased! Just when I thought I couldn't get too excited about a forthcoming flick! The Harrison Ford/ Daniel Craig team up is inspired! Clancy Brown, Sam Rockwell, and Olivia Wilde in this too. Looks like Favreau has another ace in the hole! 🙂

I had no idea about this movie until yesterday, read a bit about it was pretty excited. Now after seeing that teaser I am making this a day one must see. Craig + Ford = pure win!

Very, very, very nice.

I wish this was the only trailer they would show us until it gets released but you know the next trailer will show us everything and ruin any surprise we may have coming.

Badass isn't the word I would use to describe this, I hope the actual trailer looks more enticing.

craig is awesome for this role, downey would've turned this into shit.

Looks good, but it seems to have the same vibe as the "Outlander" movie that came out a couple of years ago about the alien visitor from another planet who fights with the vikings against an alien creature, seems to be the same concept.

'Universal is bringing Cowboys & Aliens in only 2D to theaters on July 29th, 2011 next summer.' has it really gotten to the point where you have to point out that it will not be in 3d? looks good, great cast

In 2-D only you say? C&A just took another giant step forward.

wait..isn't a teaser meant to be a teaser...this looked more like a small trailer to me 😀 as always revealing a bit too much, ain't seeing the full trailer for sure i want to enjoy this in a theatre.

Trailer looks good but you can never trust them. Most movies look good in the trailers, but most movies suck.
Greg on Nov 17, 2010

It looks like he has the thing from Ben 10 .... if Jon Favreau directed that, that would be awesome...

I laughed at 1:28 mark when you can clearly see the cowboy being yanke din th eair by a guide wire....

This looks like a good one to me, not a reboot or a remake, sequel, prequel & not in 3D well thats just about perfect then.
Jimmy Love on Nov 18, 2010

I can not wait for the prequel to this movie, I think its called 'Indians & Aliens'.
Jamie on Nov 18, 2010

I liked what has been done to the project, people will start hyping for the movie.Craig looks like he is gonna do a great job with Ford and the rest of the crew. Looking good for a teaser, long one. I will keep my eyes peeled for that projekt.
Fisherr on Nov 18, 2010

just like the comic con footage. nothing new! Anyway, it's another hit for Favreau and More power to him. Have you noticed the effing credits as producers??? Spielberg,Ron Howard and Grazer...Whoa! That's a mega hit then! loll! Can't wait!!
I am... on Nov 18, 2010

And I thought this trailer was going to suck... Feels soooooooo damn good to be wrong right about now.
John Doe on Nov 18, 2010

Eh, not sold yet. Just looks, okay.
Brian on Nov 18, 2010

Doesn't anyone else feel like Olivia Wilde's addition to this movie is just purely for her looks?...
McQueen on Nov 18, 2010
74
McQueen.... Your point being ? When I first heard about this movie I thought it was going to be more of a comedy but it appears to be of a more serious tone. Still looks interesting though.
acraig007 on Nov 19, 2010

I am worried about this movie, ppl laughed when they saw the title screen and were confused as to what was going on. I however think it looks awesome

Western/Sci-fi? Sounds like a "love it or hate it" film. Pretty cool and really well made FX.
