Every once in a while a casting comes along that really gets me excited and today is one of those days. Well maybe not today, but two days ago when news broke that
Sam Rockwell is joining the cast of "
Cowboys and Aliens." The cast for the
Dreamworks comic book adaptation being directed by
Jon Favreau is already good, but with Rockwell on board, I am seriously amped to see this action in theaters. Check out the full scoop on Rockwell joining "
Cowboys and Aliens" after the jump...
Sam Rockwell joins
Daniel Craig,
Olivia Wilde and
Harrison Ford as a group of western settlers who encounter invading aliens.
Heat Vision verifies that
Sam Rockwell will play a bar owner named
Doc, a role that was expanded by writers
Alex Kurtzman,
Roberto Orci and
Damon Lindelof for Rockwell after he showed interest in the film. Rockwell who just worked with Favreau on "
Iron Man 2" seems like a perfect casting for a western themed film. Let us not forget how immaculate Rockwell is in
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
I will be frank, the source material is a fun read, but it is very light in substance. The
Dreamworks production however has a lofty team of writers who have me hoping for a awesome movie going experience. I mean if the guys that brought us
ABC's
Lost or
J.J. Abrams Star Trek can't give the source material a little more development, I'd be pretty surprised.
The movie has a few things going for it. Number one the aforementioned cast. Two, the writing team. Three, a stellar cinematographer
Matthew Libatique. Last but definitely not least,
Jon Favreau directing. Anyways enough hyping of "
Cowboys and Aliens," stay tuned for more news and updates as they develop...
