I have to say that I agree with this guy: “Jon Favreau’s upcoming alien invasion/Western hybrid Cowboys & Aliens sounds like either a complete disaster or a recipe for total awesomeness on paper depending on who you might be. I’m guessing there aren’t many people who read that description and fall somewhere in the middle of the road.”
See also Instapundit, who considered this inevitable. I dunno: I figured that we were going to see something like Firefly: First Contact. Which would have been totally awesome.
Is that Harrison Ford?
Yup.
Back in the 70’s, Howard Waldrop wrote a Western short story called “Night of the Cooters” set in Texas during HG Wells’ “War of the Worlds”. Guess who won.
