Now I’m not the world’s biggest fans of Western genre movies, for me I just don’t get it. What is the story about? Who is he? What is going on? For that reason I simply don’t watch Westerns of old or new, although when I think about it I probably should watch the newer ones as they tend to get good reviews.
Now I have found a one I will watch Cowboys and Aliens, not quite your conventional Western but it does look good.
Cowboys and Aliens is due in Cinema’s in August 2011 (UK ) and has a pretty impressive cast including Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde and Sam Rockwell.
The story is set in 1873 Arizona , the old West. It concentrates on a town called Absolution, where a gunslinger with no memory of who he is or where he has been roles into town. The town is run by iron fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford), who does not exactly welcome the stranger with open arms.
The town is attacked by an unknown force and before long the residents soon realise that the mysterious gunslinger is their only chance of defeating the enemy as he slowly starts to remember who he is and where he has been.
Ok it’s not the best story in the world but it does mix things up a bit in the western genre with some sci-fi and action being thrown into the mix. Check out the trailer below.
