Who James Bond star Daniel Craig always considered alien-hunting gunslingers (!) wanted to see can watch Cowboys & Aliens. In any case, far too few people wanted to see the mix of sci-fi and western by Iron Man director Jon Favreau in the cinema at the time. The blockbuster, which runs on Kabel Eins on Monday, became a massive flop in 2011.
Sci-fi western starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford failed at the box office
In the Cowboys & Aliens story, a stranger with no memory (Craig) comes to a western town. Here Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford) helps his memories to the jumps. The mysterious protagonist is called Jake Lonergan and is a wanted criminal with many enemies. The strange contraption on his arm also ensures that he takes down a spaceship from which the aliens do not come with good intentions.
The idiosyncratic genre mix was not well received by the audience at the time. With a budget of just over $160 million, Cowboys & Aliens was playing Mojo at the time, according to Box Office only $174 million worldwide a. The blockbuster has become a heavy flop.
This is particularly annoying because, according to Variety, the screenplay for the film first existed in 1997. It was only 14 years later that Cowboys & Aliens could be realized due to elaborate effects work, only to end up with a financial crash landing.
