You won't believe WHO is in the Cowboys & Aliens movie!

Many of you know of the graphic novel, Cowboys & Aliens (ISBN-10: 1934220000 and yes, it's rare) and some of you may even know it's being developed for a movie. Unless you've seen yesterday's trailer, though, I bet you don't know that the following actors are in it -

Harrison Ford
Daniel Craig
Olivia Wilde
Sam Rockwell
Keith Carradine
Walton Goggins (last seen in Justified, based on Elmore Leonard's novels)
and lots of others....

Man, what a cast!
Lauretta

PS There's supposed to be a trade paperback based on the movie coming out next May - but
the graphic novel came first.
