The Awesome Cowboys & Aliens Trailer: Heavy on Cowboys, Low on Aliens

After the soul-crushing awfulness of the trailer for Green Lantern , it’s nice to know that at least one summer movie in 2011 won’t be a total disappointment. The trailer for Cowboys & Aliens — which will get some serious placement in front of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, Part I this weekend — has premiered online and it’s nowhere near as silly as the title might have you believe. In fact, it looks pretty harrowing. Well, for a movie about cowboys fighting aliens.

‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows’ Footage Leaks Online

First 36 minutes of film were posted on torrent site. By Gil Kaufman Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1” Photo: Warner Bros. Three more days was apparently too long for some “Harry Potter” fans to wait. According to TorrentFreak.com , the first 36 minutes of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1” leaked online on Tuesday morning, with thousands of fans scrambling to get their hands on the footage before it disappeared. The movie, which officially opens on Friday, is the first half of the two-part finale of the series, and TorrentFreak reported that even before the leak, it was the most searched for film on a number of torrent sites. While many movies, especially the “Potter” films, eventually find their way online to the torrent sites, where fans can download them for free, the leak of a highly anticipated film like “Potter” is a major concern for studio Warner Bros. “This constitutes a serious breach of copyright violation and theft of Warner Bros. property,” the studio told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. “We are working actively to restrict and/or remove copies that may be available. Also, we are vigorously investigating this matter and will prosecute those involved to the full extent of the law.” The source of the leak was unknown at press time. Last year’s “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” grossed nearly $1 billion worldwide and was on the list of the most-pirated movies of the year, with more than 8 million illegal downloads. You can understand why Potter fanatics are so excited about the penultimate film, especially since star Daniel Radcliffe recently told MTV News that “Potter” author J.K. Rowling sent him a text message after last week’s London premiere assuring him that she was not going to write any more books in the series. “Basically, it amounted to the fact that she felt I had been very good in this ‘Harry Potter’ film, and as a reward for that, she wasn’t going to [write] any more ‘Harry Potter’ [books],” Radcliffe said.

It took four seasons — well, three seasons and nine episodes — but the Gossip Girl creative team finally produced their worst hour of television ever. Well done, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage! “Witches of Bushwick” was everything a terrible episode of Gossip Girl normally is — stagnant, convoluted and boring — but with the added bonus of having the three worst characters come out on top. Yep, if you watch Gossip Girl for Vanessa, Jenny and Juliet, this was the episode for you! Wait, no one watches for them?
