Looks that could be some type of alien tech gizmo on the cowboy's wrist there ..

Anyway, the film stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Noah Ringer, and is set to open in theaters on July 29, 2011.

Here is a synopsis..

1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (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 (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.

Sounds like Terminator Salvation with the character of Marcus (Craig) and the elusive traveller Ella (Wilde) but in TS was played by Moon Bloodgood. They dislike Marcus at first and he helps save the Resistance at the end. Instead of a chip in the back of his head (Marcus) this guy (Craig) has a wrist gadget. He even has amnesia, just like Marcus. The Aliens (Skynet) abduct folk (Kyle, Star, Old woman).

Great find ROR! :)

I've never read the comic book but I cant wait for this movie...a great director and an even greater cast surely guarantees that this will be a classic!

Oh, and be sure to check out my editorial: Why Yvonne Strahovski Is Perfect For The Role Of Ms. Marvel!

Seriously "writers", can you please CHECK your spelling before you submit your articles? Jon Favreau, not "John". And "back-lit my UFO lights of course!..." My... you mean "by"? It's nit-picking, but I don't want those fricks from superherohype to talk shiatsu when I defend this site!

Honestly, this looks like #$&@. Sounds a lot like Wild Wild West. That movie sucked!+it also had a "great cast."

I liked Iron Man, but Farve is no god. A lot of you seriously need to hop off his @#$%.
