The new international poster for Cowboys and Aliens was just released, as well as a quick behind the scenes video. I just found the video yesterday. I was hoping for more, it shows mostly footage from the trailers, but it has some behind the scenes stuff with them filming along with talking head interviews.
There is something I have to disagree with Steven Spielberg on, the original Graphic Novel wasn't very good. Any longtime reader of the Emporium should know that I hated the original graphic novel this is based on. It was incredibly derivative of generic action movie writing. However, the movie looks to be nothing like it, AND the idea is solid...sort of Independence Day meets The Valley of Gwangi, so I'm very excited! Please-be-good-Please-be-good-Please-be-good!

I thought the same thing when I read the comic last year. The art was passable but the writing was very "meh." It was a cool concept though and has given us this fine movie, which again, definitely looks like it's going to kick the crap out of its source material.
Yeah, thankfully it looks like they took the only the idea and worked with that.
The opposite has been true also, they have taken some great books/comics and made terrible movie from them :/
The opposite is sadly the norm usually. Boooooo.
ha, I can relate to the "please-be-good-please-be-good" thing.
Haha, Yeah...Weird Westerns don't have a habit of being good films ;)

Still looking forward to it. And yeah, I'm in agreement about the source material. I thought it was pretty awful.
