Craig looks awfully thin! I love the look of this though. :D

I noticed that as well, he seems to have trimmed down for this role. Makes sense considering the time period it's set to take place in. He certainly looks like a cowboy to me.

He really does remind me of Seth from Red Dead Redemption. It's probably the shirt he's wearing at the start.

Nice teaser, movie looks very cool. I like the tone/atmosphere of it.

Looks genuinely good...I'm really glad it's not goofy and full of one-liners.

That looks decent, yeah I'll have a look at that.

I know what you mean; I thought he'd lost a bit of weight when I started watching that. Hard to imagine Downey Jr killing those four blokes; seems exactly Craig's sort of role.

Looks much better than I expected.

Yes. Worth the price of admission alone. Craig will eat this up.

Thin? Lost weight? He looks like an absolute [censored]house! :confused:

Seriously, I've seen less built photos of Schwarzenegger.

I'm still wrapping my head around this unbelievable idea. If I understand this right (and I don't know if I do) there's cowboys.........and aliens!

Also love how Daniel Craig says three words in the trailer and has me hooked. I would like to hear more of his accent though. I'm also currently taking bets for guessing how long it will take for him to lose his shirt in the movie.

The movie might be a lot darker and creepier than I was expecting. Looks fantastic to me.

Well, that actually looks interesting and different. A summer movie that actually can be surprising again?

I was excited when I saw Craig, but for some reason I got chills when I first saw Harrison Ford in the teaser.

It's the most animated I've seen Harrison Ford be in a long time. He's just usually so insipid nowadays. You ever see him in an interview? It's just awkward.

This movie looks pretty awesome. I can't wait.

He looks quite animated in that trailer for the breakfast TV movie thing. I think he may finally have woken up.

Wow...this looks...absolutely REDICULOUS AND STUPID!! (yes I'm being serious...) :| Sure the overall look of the movie looks good but the concept is utterly dumb... Craig looks great..a nice tough part but I mean for me Cowboys and Aliens just DON'T mix... I'm MUCH MORE looking forward to seeing Craig as Mikael Blomquist in the English remake of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo".. I'll most likely be giving Cowboys and Aliens a miss..or at some point may Netflix it..

Oh I am..but am kind of picky when it comes to Sci-Fi... Love the ones where the story and plot outweigh the visuals and eye candy..ala Alien, Back to The Future etc... Of course I could be totally wrong about Cowboys and Aliens, but right now I can tell that the story is just not one that holds a lot of interest for me.. Well, we'll see.

Why? What's dumb about it? It's an Alien invasion movie(there's about 500 of them coming soon to a theater near you btw)and it just happens to take place in the wild west(And isn't Roswell in the southwestern USA?). I love this idea-it's very John Carpenter/Twighlight Zone-ish. In this scenario there's no Pentagon, no F-16 pilots or Marines to battle aliens. This predates the theory of realitivity, the landing on the moon...etc. Think how scary this would be to them cowboys! This premise kicks [censored]. :)

This is my #1 must see for 2011. B)

Respectable. The teaser doesn't really get in depth. I hope we do get to see the aliens. Or at least have some exposure to them in the second act.

As he's obviously an alien, what does it matter what accent he does? ;)

Renegade alien, ain't he?

I can't tell if you're speculating or read the graphic novel. If it's the former can you spoiler tag? (I hope your speculating otherwise reading that was very unfortunate for me).

I'm hoping it was a guess too, because that's what I guessed, and usually when I guess something that means I'm wrong, because the filmmakers are typically more clever than me.

No, lads, I've not read the graphic novel. To be honest, this fantasy stuff and comics in general are just not my thing.

Just speculating upon what I've seen with my own eyes in the trailer. And the fact that Hollywood is VERY VERY predictable and rarely original. Which the context of Craig's character isn't. Consider old Westerns. Stranger enters town and saves/changes it. Chuck in some aliens to make is appeal to a more modern audience. Et voila.
