Harrison Ford Joins Favreau's COWBOYS & ALIENS!!
Merrick here...
Jon Favreau's Twitter satream (HERE) confirms recent rumors that Harrison Ford will appear in the Orci/Kurtzman/Lindelof written/produced adaptation of COWBOYS & ALIENS:
Please stop asking if Harrison Ford is in Cowboys & Aliens. Okay? He is. Please don't tell anybody.
...per a Tweet filed approximately 10 minutes ago.
A few days ago, this news was initially (and cleverly) extrapolated by my man El Mayimbe over at Latino Reviews (HERE), but Jon's Tweet is the first official confirm we've had re: Ford's casting.
You can find amassed versions of the Image Comics publication on which this film is based HERE
.
Spielberg and Ron Howard are also producers on the project, which will star Daniel Craig and Olivia Wilde.
Hopefully Ford will be more awake in this than he was in KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL.

Because Ford doesn't care anymore.
-
Don't know why he was wearing a fedora instead of a cowboy hat, though.
-
Even though Ford doesn't care anymore.
-
Whatever happened to that? He's got to do something different for his carrer.
-
He needs to realize that he's no long the leading man. If he is the lead character, it has to be age appropriate. Samething with DeNiro.
It's about time he starts being the co-star or a part of an esembled cast. In fact, he should have done 'Traffic' back in 2000... -
and bruce wilis is the 2nd sleepiest actor in the world. watch die hard 4, cop out, kingdom of the alien skeletal head and erm Crossing over and you'll be the sleepiest watcher of sleepy actor movies anywhere in the world. im going to lie down now, i feel sleepy. bye.
-
Harrison Ford used to exude cool, charm and charisma effortlessly. His sly smile, the twinkle in his eye. When he needed to be dark, or menacing, he just flipped that switch and there it was. Now, he's a like a cardboard standy being moved around the set by stagehands before he goes into the studio to quickly take a pass at delivering his wooden lines. No passion. No emotion. It actually makes me a little sad to watch him on screen these days. And I used to be a huge fan.
-
He's been sleepwalking through films for god knows how long now.

That's what happens when you get given LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWAR
by darth busey
-
But with werewolves! ...I mean aliens. Is it still considered a comic adaptation when the comic was only produced so they could say the movie was "based on the grapic novel"? Is the comic even out yet? -
Well, what the hell. Clint Eastwood still manages to be a tough bad-ass on film, and he's like 178 years old. He even managed it in "Space Cowboys". Sorta. So here's hoping ol' Han can pull it off.
-
Now THIS is news to celebrate! Harrison Ford...back in the saddle of a western/action/sci-fi hybrid...THIS has serious possibilites!!!!
-
...or take the graceful Gene Hackman route.
-
If you read interviews about why KOTCS took so long to make, it was because neither Ford nor Spielberg wanted to do another movie about aliens. Especially Ford. Spielberg ends up making World of the Worlds; Ford is going to do this. Kind of makes you go "huh."

Notice how Ford is suddenly doing big-budget movies again? Callista gotta eat, bro!
-
He's 67. Sly is only 5 years younger and he looked pretty good in Rambo....I guess HGH does wonders.Shoot Ford up with a about 20C's of test and HGH and he'll be A ok.
-
I'm picturing him playing a gritty, badass gunslinger & everybody else is picturing a cigar store indian.
-
And then he starts ACTING . . .
-
ring a bell? He's dead inside now.
-
He makes one bad Indiana Jones movie and you all act like he is the worst actor ever. Ridiculous.
-
when you find out they cast Harrison Ford as a corpse.
-
...The Last Crusade?
My fingers are fuckin' crossed that this turns out well! -
Have you SEEN her?
-
im amazed to hear the films ford passes on and then you see the films he does. that immigration movie was tv quality. then i saw the commercials for his brandon flick during football and i thought it was a cbs movie of the week. ford has made a handful of classics but when he is off, he is way off.
-
I don't watch afterschool specials that make it to the theater. And for all thats crappy about Crystal Skull, Ford's acting wasn't part of the problem.
-
For the first time in like like what? 20 years?
-
i hope they do not make the avatar last air bender mistake. if native americans are called for, CAST a true native american please. Hollywood is so fucking elitist and ethnocentric.
-
the unholy duo of Orci/Kutz is scripting this movie? i didnt know it,i focused on Favreau directing it and forgot about who was writing it.damn i just lost all my interest about this project.fuck this shit with these shitty writers.
-
the dude still got it.the problem with the movie was elsewhere...
-
but I'm pretty sure he phones that one in. And no, his performance wasn't the major problem with Crystal Skull. But his dryness was contributing to it.
-
When was the last time you saw Native Americans portrayed by anyone other than Native Americans? Blazing Saddles?
-
. . . I see Ford returning to the fun, fanboy summertime flicks he belongs in and you're writing it off the day his casting was announced. Fingers crossed here . . .
-
HahHAH!
-
And is AICN going to run a story on the news that Keanu has been confirmed for the role of Spike in the Cowboy Bebop live-action movie? http://tinyurl.com/a462g2
-
I'm still waiting for them to announce Viggo AND Cronenberg are delivering the Eastern Promises sequel.
-
And I hope Ford is bad ass, super cool, brilliant! But if he can't bring it for the movies he's producing I'm not sure I can expect him to show up for anybody else's.

It's Ford's highly anticipated follow up to Extreme Measures.
by azultool
I'M ALREADY COWBOYING AROUND THE CLOCK!
-
He's not the star and only serves in a supporting role, I'm fine with it.
-
Spielberg seemed like the one cruising on Lost World auto pilot.
-
See him on Letterman a while back? I don't even know how to describe it, but he was just fucking weird. As for his films, the last time he seemed to be having a good time in a role was HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE, seven years ago! He needs to retire, or find his mojo again. But for now, he just ain't the Harrison Ford we know and love anymore.
-
Hey shogunshin......fuck you.
-
he woke up on the morning if his 50th birthday and decided he was too old to play the handsome rogue character and decided acting his age. Even in Last Crusade he still displayed that rogueish charm. That was probably the last film where he showed it. The truth is Harrison is a boring, mildly shy person. But he was great at playing the rascal (American Grafiti, SW, Indy Jones) and that made him huge. When he decides to act "normal" he's boring as hell.
-
So even if Ford turns in a glum performance, it's not like he'll be alone.
-
maybe the Trek writers of C&A will get him in Trek 2 as an Admiral or Commodore Decker etc
-
It's really close on this one. Both are very enjoyable series and have great soundtracks. RIP Nujabes. You did some great work on Champloo.

"Hopefully Ford will be more awake in this than he was in KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL."
Really? I thought IJ4 was run of the mill, but I thought Ford did a good job dawning the hat again. IMO the problem is that the Indy films have devolved into some kind of sidekick extravaganza... Remember in Raiders the only constant character was Indy - Sallah & Marion came and went, it was a Belloq vs Indy man grudge from start to finish. As the series has gone on, Indy has collected too many sidekicks... how many were there in IJ4? Mutt, Marion, Oxley, Mac (on and off). The problem is all of those characters need their own story arcs, unfortunately that takes away from Indy.
Ford was just fine and seemed more into what he was doing than his last 10 films combined. The problem was he script structure. While Raiders is one of the greatest examples of an action screenplay, what David Koepp cobbled together was poor. I can't understand why uncle Steve keeps hiring him.
Ford could really use a role like the ones he turned down in Syriana or Traffic. Dull action movies and half assed comedies are not playing to his strengths. Ford is not great with dialogue, he, like Eastwood, is better as a presence. The Bob Bear character in Syriana was a man of few words... he watched others - what he said was done through body language and looks... Ford could have done that and done it well. -

A Reader's Digest and a tall, cool glass of Milk of Magnesia at this point.Ever see this guy get interviewed? Have you EVER seen an actor give less of a fuck about the interview? He thinks your an asshole just for sitting near him.

The man never really wanted to be an actor anyway so I say fuck 'im.

Hopefully this role will be a fairly significant one and not a cameo. I believe Daniel Craig is the lead so hopefully Harrison won't just mosey in, say "hey" and leave.

It's a shame Ford shys away from genre and ensemble films.
-
...saying that Ford was awake in Crystal Skull. I don't care what you think of the film Ford was alive and had a spark in him like we hadn't seen in a decade or more in it.
-
...Merrick is wrong about everything always. We all have a gift and that happens to be his.
-
I can totally see that because Jones is playing that really low key. Modern day Ford could have pulled that off. Not sure about Hartigan or Gordon, but that's just because I think the actors who got the parts did stellar jobs all around. Oldman in particular I really love as Gordon. I think QT kind of handpicked Carradine, but I agree Ford would have been an interesting choice for that part.

yeah cuz blending the hulk thor and iron man worlds is soooo hard to do compared to aliens? Wtf??? Avengers would be the bigger pay day. And farv how about u finish up with iron man 2 before you line up ur next project the movie isn't even out yet
-
Ford is making the same mistakes Connery was making at the end of his career, passing on the Matrix and LOTR. This Cowboys and Aliens seems like a step in the right direction... just hope this isn't Ford's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Anyone familiar with the comics know what role Ford will play?
-
... let alone that it has such big names attached. Are these comics actually that great? They sound idiotic. Will Craig play a Brit in this? Will he affect an American accent? COWBOYS AND ALIENS?! I can't get my mind around this.
-
Holy fuck, Merrick can't even get a throwaway diss right. How can this very stupid man even type?
-
Figure the fact that you can't get your head around the concept is what makes it good; we've never seen this story on screen before. Beats the hell out of another remake or sequel.
-
He is quite stupid and does not know anything about what qualifies as good or bad. But the crazy part is he KEEPS. DOING. IT. EVERY. POST. Like, the guy can't get a single opinion right. EVER. It's insanely baffling.
-
How can someone get their own opinion wrong?
-
It's your own opinion but you're still wrong. Pretty simple, really.
-
your logic is awesome.
-
Harrison Ford was definitely not the problem with that travesty. In fact, it makes it all the more heartbreaking that he was still in fine form as Indy but the movie was piss-poor. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are not the filmmakers they once were, and that is just a stone cold fact.
-
It's not TPM. It was ok and I'm tired of bitter nerds saying, well the first 3 were perfect, but I don't care for the 4th one. Whenever they announce an Indiana Jones Boxset. You take all the films and accept them!
-
...means it ain't really all that good, either.
-
Nazi's and Poltergeists?KKK and Voodoo Practitioners?Aborigines and Were-dingos?High School Jocks and Interdimensional Fractal Beings?Irish Gangsters and Leprechauns?I should be a studio exec...

I'd like to see some of your ideas as a fully produced, big budget summer films, but I doubt many people would. Cowboys and Aliens, as a pitch, works if you let it sink in.
-
With aliens??
I'm just sayin' -
It was fine, you babies.
-
was like 1 part Phantom Menace and 2 parts Last Crusade. Wasn't too bad, coulda been a lot worse I guess.
-
...and indy 4 was not sci-fi, although there were aliens. sheesh.

Harrison Ford, Chevy Chase, etc. take a cue from Hackman
by randysavage
While Hackman acted into his 70s, at one point he realized that it was time to retire with grace and dignity.
Some actors can play 'old' well. Others can't. Ford & Chase clearly are in the latter group.
They ought to have been remembered for how great they were in their prime, not how they clung onto acting careers after their charisma was long, long gone. -
This is exactly what he should be doing now, something to follow up Indy 4. Its pretty clear Ford is pissed off with his action man image, these are the roles that made him and i think he's stuck with it. I feel this was what prompted this "i'm no longer a leading man, i'm a character actor now" statement a month or two ago. He WAS the best thing in Indy 4, he carried what was a sporadic Indy episode. $780 mil worldwide for KOTCS makes it hard to argue that the general punters wont turn out for him anymore, as long as he's doing what they want. I think he's still as good as he ever was on screen, its obvious younger people struggle with his ageing, but thats just a redundant complaint. He's a boring now in interviews in 2010 as he was in 1978, if your not aware of the why that is by now then you never will be.
-
I'm sorry but it sucks! I read some of it online after AICN posted an article about this movie one time before. I got about half way through it and quit. I can't believe this is getting made into movie. I like the concept of "Cowboys versus Aliens". But I just felt that the story in the comic wasn't very good. (Sorry to whoever wrote it.) It was just kinda all over the place. And I can't see Orci or Kurtzman adding anything beneficial to it either. I am not a fan.
Thats just my opinion. I would suggest to anyone who's interested in it but never read it to check out the free online version linked in the above article. Then post your thoughts on here. I'm interested in seeing what other people think about it. -
I can endure a bad movie about some franchises, but Indiana Jones should be a paradong of excelency. Indiana Jones should be the yardstick from which all others compare. And what we got instead as such a souless bullshit movie that i'm suprised some hack like Michael Bay didn't directed it. That he best defense the fanboyus can come up for Crystal Skullfuck is "it wasn't too bad" is very telling. Said by people who enjoy "dumb fun" movies. All very telling. Cryustal Skullfuck is shit. It hurts me to say that, because i'm a Indy afficionado, but that's how it is. I'm not going to pretent shit is gold just because of my love for the character and it's two earliest movies.
-
Sorry everyone but I do, it was fun, I prefer it to Temple Of Dump.
Ford being involved in this new project makes me interested to see it. -
You should read our posts again. All our posts say of how disappointed we are with the Harrison Ford of today. He hasn't aged gracefully like Michael Caine, an actor who's still admired and respected and loved today as he was 30 and 40 years ago. Ford is no Caine in that regard. He slouched. We are expressing our disapointment toward one of our biggest heros of the past. That's the whole point. And nobody is dissing the past achievements of Ford. Nobody. We all love the Harrison Ford of SW, the Indy movies, Witness and Blade Runner. We are not loving the caricature he became. And he didn't needed to have fallen into that. It's a sign of his own self-indulgency, and dare say, disrespect for the very people who made him famous and very fucking rich. That's the whole bloody point.
-
This movie will be GREAT!
-
I have heard it all now!
-
It will be, won't it? It's going to be the next Hollywood masterpiece... of shit! Destined to the hall of infamy. Kurtzman and Orci, they never disapoint in their ineptitude! Like clockwork.

I don't know if i can say Ford was the best thing in SKULLFUCK
by asimovlives
There were moments i saw some of the old spark, but it was very far between. i don't know if those sparks were just conditioning from knowing Ford as Indy, or actual effort from him. But i was alsovery disapointed with Ford. for a guy who is so hands down on all his movie, and Indy in particular, one of the people whose say-so onthe script caused the movie to be delayed for so long, that beingthe end result is nothing short of disapointing... to say the least.
-
Really, he was fantastic in it.
-
Damn right he was great in Skull.
-
You guys have very liberal and forgiving definitions of "great".
-
...like the idea of this movie. See that thar is optimism.
-
Ford rides back to Earth in Alien Refrigerator, lands in lake, unharmed.
-
You call it optimism. I call it denial.

What is your problem? Harrison Ford rocked in KOTCS. Even most of the haters at the very least will admit that. Leave the man the hell alone. You need to stop insulting KOTCS every single time a piece of news concerning someone related to that movie comes up. It's petty, it's childish and it's just plain old. If you hated it, fine. Your loss. Doesn't mean you have to insult the filmmakers, and by proxy, all those that actually liked or loved the film. Cut it out, before you make yourself extremely unpopular. Actually, seeing as how this site is a breeding ground for Anti-KOTCSers, you'll probably become MORE popular. Figures. The jerks are always the loved ones.

"Hopefully Ford will be more awake in this than he was in KINGDO
by ditko
Euh? He was the best part in that piece of ...youname it that was Indy IV. He still looked the role, and did a great job with what was given to him.
-
exactly that.
-
Not enough Indy, too many helper characters. Lucas and Spielberg could have learned a thing or two by watching Stallone's last Rambo movie to see how to truly handle an aging iconic action character.
-
seriously, how did anyone like "iron man". half of it was spent in a cave, and when downey jr. spoke through the armour, it just sounded like he was aping peter weller. the comic is far superior to that turd of a movie. on the other hand, "elf" is pretty funny. it's still favreau's best work as a director, and he should stick to comedy.
-
Harrison Ford may make a crappy movie here or there, but he is still THE MAN and could get away with reading the phone book if he wanted to. Just one quick shot of him in 500 Days of Summer MADE that movie. And as far as INDY IV goes, blame Lucas for a crappy, crappy plot, and LaBeef for being Tarzan Boy. But don't lay a hand on the man under the fedora. Even acting out stupid scenarios like avoiding a nuclear blast in a lead lined refrigerator, he still gets up and dusts himself off in style. As Ford himself said, “If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that.”
-
Point taken. I've read the posts. To be honest, maybe I was reacting to the Expendables talkback from last week where one talkbacker wrote that Ford was a 'douche' (no explanation as to why) and another wrote that he supported rapists (didn't bother to clarify). So, yes, maybe I did overreact as I don't think those two fuckheads are posting here. Having said that I understand your disappointment but all actors go through long slumps and do shit for money. Even actors of equal stature, Travolta, Willis, Stallone, hell even DeNiro — perhaps the greatest actor of our time — has made some shitty flicks.
-
That is all.
-
that mess was FAR from his fault. In fact, I can get enjoyment out of watching it because he still brought Jones back to life. I just like watching that character, and wherever he could, Ford made the movie interesting for me because I just wanted to see if he'd forget how to play the character. IMHO, he didn't... not only that, but he added just the right amount of age to Indy... I thought there was some subtlety there to the characterization, but nearly everything else about the movie just destroyed that. I felt bad for him, in the end... he went to bat and the rest of the team failed him.
-
he obviously knows fuck-all about picking the right script. I think it was ALWAYS Spielberg holding things up and if Spielberg didn't want to do it, Ford didn't want to do it. I think he just looked to him for which way he was gonna go on the project... I think he was relieved that Spielberg finally caved and wanted to do it. And again, I think he woke himself the fucked up, snapped out of his stupor, and definitely tried... way harder than Pacino did in bringing Michael Corleone to life in Godfather 3, that's for sure. Ford still knows how to play that role, give him a chance WITH A GOOD SCRIPT.
