We hoped and we hoped and we hoped and we got our wish: Harrison Ford is officially joining Cowboys & Aliens to appear in what should be a classic craggy facedown as he acts alongside Daniel Craig.
Clearly sick of being peppered with queries about the subject of Ford’s possible casting, director Jon Favreau hit his Twitter feedyesterday to lay a little official smack down. "Please stop asking if Harrison Ford is in Cowboys & Aliens. Okay?” he wrote. “He is. Please don't tell anybody.” Too late, Favreau, too late!
The news confirms Latino Review’s scoop about Ford rumoured for a big sci-fi pic and their speculation that the film in question could be Cowboys.
Based on the graphic novel, the movie will see Craig, Ford and Tron Legac****y’s Olivia Wilde going up against nasty invading aliens in the old west. If Ford can get back to his no-nonsense style, it’ll do a lot to restore his cred following some dodgy recent choices.
