First Image From Jon Favreau’s ‘Cowboys & Aliens’
  |  @   |  

The first official image of Daniel Craig in the Jon Favreau-directed Cowboys & Aliens has been released.

Check it out here at right.

I got to see some early footage from the movie over the weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, where Craig and Favreau were in attendance to show off the film. [Read SDCC 2010: Jon Favreau’s “˜Cowboys & Aliens’ Footage Description.]

The image shows Craig’s character with one arm outstretched. Over his hand and wrist is a mechanism which is lit up. This looks like the end of the footage we saw at SDCC where Craig’s character uses that mechanism to shoot down a spaceship.

The official synopsis for the film (here below) lists Craig’s character simply as a “stranger.” IMDB has him as “Zeke Johnson”; Wikipedia as “Jake Johnson”; and the film’s new Facebook page as “Jake Lonergan.” When Robert Downey Jr. was originally cast as the lead, the announcements said he’d be playing Zeke Johnson.

Synopsis

1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Daniel Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It’s a town that lives in fear.

But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.

Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents””townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors””all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.
