Craig as Bond

Here we are in the dead of winter when most of our thoughts revert to hot summer nights and the cool reprieve found inside the walls of a theater. Well, that reprieve is going to be a lot more sizzling this year than in years past due to Daniel Craig’s hot new film Cowboys & Aliens, scheduled to be released the Summer of 2011. Directed by the same director as Iron Man, Cowboys & Aliens has a similar theme in the sense that the main character (a cowboy played by Craig; hence the film’s title) has a shackle on one wrist that unleashes power similar to Iron Man’s surplus gear. A posse of top film makers like Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci combined talents to bring this exciting film to life. The basic plot line is simple: in Silver City, Arizona, Apache Indians and Western settlers must lay their differences aside when an alien spaceship crash lands in their city; but you know with the talent pool already mentioned there is going to be nothing “simple” about this film. Check out this trailer so you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about when it comes to full-blown excitement!
