Cowboys And Aliens rides with Sam Rockwell
04 May 2010
The Californian native will rejoin his Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau on Cowboys and Aliens for DreamWorks.
Rockwell will star alongside Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde and Harrison Ford in the graphic novel-based story of battle-happy extraterrestrials invading the Old West.
Writers Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof worked with Favreau to re-imagine the role that Rockwell has nabbed – Doc, a bartender who helps our heroes battle the alien nasties – boosting his screen time and switching his appearance from a heavy-set boozer.
Sam can currently be seen in Iron Man 2 as arms manufacturer Justin Hammer, the film is out in cinemas now.
