Jon Favreau’s forthcoming sci-fi action movie is rounding up one helluva cast. Already onboard the graphic novel adaptation is Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell and Noah Ringer and now two more very interesting talents have been added.
Deadline reports that Paul Dano, Keith Carradine and Clancy Brown (mostly a voice actor by trade, but seems to have a flesh and bones part here) have joined the film. In Mike Fleming’s rush to get the story up, he’s cut out what role Dano is supposed to play, but Carradine will play the town sheriff and Brown one of the cowboys who’ll team up against the aliens.
Yesterday, the full synopsis for the film hit the web but we’ll give you the condensed version here. A stranger with no memory (Craig) comes across a desert town in the 1870s. The town lives in fear and under the rule of the sheriff and they don’t take kindly to strangers. But when aliens start to arrive, the town bands together and the stranger in their midst slowly remembers who he is and more importantly, how he can save them.
Filming on the project starts next month in New Mexico, and film will hit theaters on July 29, 2011.
