First poster for Cowboys & Aliens

It’s been noted by better than ourselves that the summer of 2011 for movies is one of the busiest until, well, at least 2012. Certainly there’s a fair stack of blockbuster movies vying for attention, yet we’d suggest that many of us are looking for Cowboys & Aliens to bubble to the top.

It’s a risky venture, certainly, but that's arguably part of the appeal here. It’s not a sequel, or a massively-known property. It stars Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, a pair of actors who, right now, struggle to generate hits outside of their own key franchises. And also, it’s going out the week after The First Avenger: Captain America, on 29th July.

So no pressure there, then.

Which means it’s probably wise to get some kind of awareness campaign going for the new movie. Hence, we’ve got this first poster for the film, with the promise of a trailer later in the week.

When said trailer appears, we’ll give you a shout. Or, more likely, put it up on the site.
