New Cowboys & Aliens Poster Beams Down

News, Screen Shots

Yahoo Movies has unveiled the poster for the upcoming Jon Favreau directed Cowboys & Aliens. Though you can’t clearly see his face, one could suppose that the poster features film star Daniel Craig with some kind of alien gun strapped to his wrist.

The poster’s release comes on the heel of news reported by The Hollywood Reporter that the film is caught up in a skirmish over writing credits. Although Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof are credited with the most recent draft of a screenplay based on a 2006 comic book by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, the project has been in development since 1997 with many screenwriters having taken a crack at the product. Now, writers who had previously worked on the film since ’97 are campaigning for credit.
