Movie Trailers - Movies Blog "I heard the title 'Cowboys & Aliens,' and to me, that was like chocolate and peanut butter," Orci told MTV News. Kurtzman added, "Literally, without knowing anything about it, just on hearing the title we thought that sounds like a lot of fun." "You're going to think you're watching a western for a half hour. 'Am I watching a western?' And then all of the sudden, in the middle of what could be a great western movie, aliens are going to land," Orci laughed. "And the western is going to go, 'What just happened?' And the aliens are going to go, 'Well, we're going to explain it to you.' They're going to have to work it out. So I think if we do our jobs right, it really will be half western and half sci-fi that meets in the right place, because they have things in common." "I think the thing for us is to take it seriously," said Kurtzman. "It's not a tongue-in-cheek movie. It's a lot of fun, but it's not yuk-yuk. It's embracing everything we love about the western genre and everything we love about sci-fi and finding a way to mash them together. I think the opportunity to find a way to do that credibly doesn't come along very often." "We're a little dazed right now, because we've been shooting nights for the last two weeks...it's unbelievably cool to be on set with Harrison, Daniel, Sam Rockwell and Olivia Wilde. It's really, really cool."
