Universal Pictures has teased its Jon Favreau-directed Daniel Craig/Harrison Ford starrer Cowboys & Aliens all over the place, but the studio just announced it will reveal the first full-length trailer during the April 14 telecast of American Idol. The studio’s buying commercial time for the trailer. After that, Universal will put the trailer online through Apple to be gobbled up by every website. Networks get paid by studios to advertise their films, while websites treat every trailer as a news story.


Folks, this one is under the radar for now but trust me it’s going be good ; )
I’ve been waiting YEARS for Wild Wild West 2. I just hope there’s some big f**king spiders!
Universal can throw all the marketing money at this 200 million dollar monster they want but it’s going to come down to, is the movie good enough to overcome the title? Iron Man suggests says it will be, Iron Man 2 says maybe not.
Okay Dr. Fantastic. I’m calling you out if it isn’t. Let’s hope. Keep hope alive!
Woooo! Cowboys & Aliens is going to be huge! I’ll be going on opening night with all my girls! Hahah.. freakin’ fantastic, can’t wait! OH YEAH BABY!!!
treated myself to a thai massage today and am still giggling over the female masseuse’s major fascination by my BIG beautiful butt hahha… It’s mesmerising!
wtf lady…
Yep, Universal. As evidenced by Johanna, you’re clearing hitting your demographic perfectly. Well done.
Ever NOT want to watch a movie because of the title? This is one of those for me.
Good move by Universal since alot of people still watch American Idol. All the trailers they have shown so far have only been from the first half of the movie, so Favreau still has alot of secrets hes hiding. I think this trailer will be a good indication as to what this film is going to be and who’s interested in it. I personally think its going to be an awesome movie and probably the only fun movie of the summer.
Something about this movie really makes me wants to see it. Can’t wait.
Unfortunately the early footage gave the false impression that this was a comedy, in the vein of The Wild, Wild West. Favreau has an up hill battle to over come, to give an overall impression of the feel of the film. For this to work, you must buy-in to the characters and the atmosphere of an old west drama. Hopefully, this trailer will demonstrate that. I’m rooting for this film.
Aweshum, totally aweshum!
Very much looking forward to this one.
Just want more Harrison in the promotion/marketing. Where’s his poster?
I don’t see how any movie that bought commercial time during the Super Bowl can be considered “under the radar.” The Super Bowl is still the most watched show in the US each year, right?
I don’t know, I saw the trailer during the “Super Bowl” and thought it looked stupid.
