"Steven was now at Paramount, which Universal was never very happy about. "They made a deal that they would do it together, which ultimately caused some problems," Rosenberg explains. (DreamWorks and Universal had almost made a version of the film in the 1990s when Rosenberg was first pitching the idea.)

Both directors wanted the movie to be made by their respective production companies, DreamWorks and Imagine Entertainment.Īt the time, DreamWorks had a deal with Paramount, while Imagine was set up at Universal - which had previously been Spielberg's home for many years - requiring the two studios to team up to make Cowboys & Aliens a reality. Besides Favreau, two other major Hollywood power players were part of the film's long journey to the big screen: Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard.

So it grossed a great amount and had it cost less, it would have been touted as a major success."

"It did gross $175 million, and when you add DVD sales and TV and everything, it's probably double that number - and that's in 2011 dollars. "If the movie cost $60 million less to make, it would have been considered a much bigger hit," he tells Yahoo Entertainment now. Looking back a decade later Cowboys & Aliens creator, Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, has a different takeaway about the project he shepherded from the page to the screen. While the film grossed more than $175 million worldwide for, the film's price tag was just shy of $160 million, leading some to label it a disappointment compared to blockbuster competitors like Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, all of which went on to spawn multiple sequels.

When the dust settled, though, the Jon Favreau-directed sci-fi Western - which starred Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford as Old West cowboys battling invading aliens - proved a one-and-done affair. When it hit theaters ten years ago on June 29, 2011, Cowboys & Aliens, based on the 2006 graphic novel of the same name, had all the necessary ingredients to dominate the summertime spectacle competition, and launch a new film franchise in the process. A canvas as large as the American West, with a budget and action set pieces to match. A director hot off the success of launching an entire comic book movie universe.

Wilson reviewed the film when it originally came out in theaters, check it out right here.Īs for the Blu-ray, it looks like the film will also contain the theatrical edition plus a boat load of special features. I don’t recall the last time I gave credit to Harrison Ford for providing the best performance in a movie, but Cowboys & Aliens could have been a lot worse had he not been present.ĭaniel Craig wonders around aimlessly as a drifter who forgot his past while Olivia Wilde plays the wildcard with a set of big eyes. I’m hoping that the theatrical cut was just an example of poor editing and not poor filmmaking by director Jon Favreau, who directed Iron Man and its horrible sequel. This new cut could perhaps save the film from its very weak story. The western/sci-fi mash-up gone wrong called Cowboys & Aliens is heading to Blu-ray on December 6th and it will come with an extended edition that features 17 extra minutes.
