Universal Sets 2011 Release Date for Cowboys and Aliens

Posted on Sunday, February 7th, 2010 by Devindra Hardawar

Hot on the heels of the news that Olivia Wilde (House) is joining the cast of Jon Favreau’s Cowboys and Aliens, we finally have a release date for the film from Universal. The studio announced on Friday that they’re carving out a prime summer spot for the film, which stars Daniel Craig, on July 29, 2011. The date isn’t a huge surprise since it’s perfect summer fare from the guy who gave us Iron Man, and we already know that the film will start filming sometime this July.

The release date was previously owned by Peter Berg’s Battleship, but that’s now set for a May 2012 release. I’m not going to shed any tears for the Battleship delay, and quite honestly I’m glad that we’re getting the more interesting Cowboys and Aliens first.

RDJ dodged a bullet with this. Watch Favreau squander all his Iron Man goodwill with this.

Assuming that IM2 is a success. Believe me, I desperately want it to be, but it's got more than a little going against it. Let's hope the first IM's story and acting wasn't a fluke and Favreau and RDJ really do have it in them.

Cowboys and Aliens does sound like it has the potential to be lots of fun.

There is literally no way in hell this will be anything less then an amazing popcorn flick.

gah

Umm, Peter already reported on the date change for Battleship (which is coming out on May 25th to be precise), so was it neccesarly to mention it in both the title and article? Furthur more, it doesn't really have any correlation on the release date of Cowboys vs. Aliens.

Missed that first story, so I'll remove it from the title. The correlation is that Battleship used to own the date, but I'll rewrite to make more sense.

this comic was terrible, like it was written by a four year old. Was ridiculously bad and boring. I torrented it and actually quit reading halfway. That's right, I didn't even finish a FREE copy of this pile of steaming dog crap.

I should write a graphic novel about vampires fighting time travelers and make my million off of the film industries absolute lack of decent film writers in the 21st century
