Robert Downey Jr in Cowboys & Aliens
Robert Downey Jr. is in negotiations to star the big screen adaptation of the graphic novel Cowboys & Aliens. The project has been in development for the last ten years, even though the comic book was only released a couple years go (it was pitched for years before it was ever actually written). I haven’t read the book, but I will admit that the title alone makes it worthy of a big screen movie.
Written by Fred Van Lente and Andrew Foley, the story takes place in the Old West, where “settlers and Native Americans wage a bloody battle for control of the land. But when the Earth is threatened by conquerors from the stars, these sworn enemies must work together to save all humanity.” Downey Jr would play a former Union Army gunslinger named Zeke Jackson. You can read the entire graphic novel for free online on drunkduck.com or check out the teaser trailer for the comic book below.
The latest screenplay was written by Iron Man and Children of Men scribes Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus. DreamWorks/Universal is eyeing as a possible 2010 tentpole release date.

Rate-a-Trailer: Vin Diesel Saves Us All in Babylon A.D.
You kinda have to respect Vin Diesel for sticking to what he loves: stylish sci-fi movies that don’t exactly make bank (see The Chronicles of Riddickor don’t). So check out this new trailer for Babylon A.D., due Aug. 29, which looks a bit like Children of Men remade on the Blade Runner set. And maybe that’s a good thing, since French director Mathieu Kassovitz’s futuristic flick feels superslick, despite Vin’s sour look in every shot. And hey, look, 1.5 seconds of Michelle Yeoh!
What do you think? Can Vin win with this one?
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Movie Trailer #2
Warner Bros has released a new trailer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The trailer has a darker underlying tone, as the Clone wars were no doubt darker times in the Star Wars Galaxy. And I love some of the imagery, like the wide shot of R2, C3PO and Anikan walking with the duel sunset over the desert (seen above), a call back to A New Hope. Tell me what you think in the comments below!
The official plot synopsis reads: Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, are on the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, along with brand new heroes like Anakin’s padawan learner, Ahsoka. Sinister villains – led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous – are poised to rule the galaxy. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights. Their exploits lead to action-packed battles and astonishing new revelations.
You can watch the trailer in High Definition on Yahoo. Star Wars: The Clone Wars will hit theaters on August 15th 2008. The movie leads directly in to this fall’s premiere of a weekly computer-animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series on Cartoon Network.
