First Cowboys & Aliens Poster

Universal has released a teaser poster for Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens, which stars Daniel Craig as an old-timey cowboy forced to fight off aliens and all the futuristic technology that comes with them.

Synopsis:

1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger 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. 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, 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.

We’ll be getting a trailer via Yahoo Movies! on Wednesday 17th November at 1pm ET and 10am PT. Universal’s even put up a countdown clock until the trailer premieres:

The film also stars Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Noah Ringer, Paul Dano, Keith Carradine, Clancy Brown, Ana de la Reguera, Abigail Spencer and Adam Beach.

Cowboys & Aliens opens in theaters everywhere July 29, 2011.
