Remember that surprisingly serious trailer for Cowboys & Aliens ? Well, supposedly we can expect the same dark tone in the actual film. Jon Favreau has said that the film is a straight Sergio-Leone-style western crossed with Ridley Scott’s Alien . That sounds great! But apparently Universal is very worried that audiences are expecting a silly action-comedy instead. Hmm. This seems a bit disingenuous considering that the movie is called, um… Cowboys & Aliens . If this is the title they decided on while hoping to market a “deadly serious” film, I can only imagine the list of titles they rejected. And so, in Movieline tradition , here is that list.
