Set Photo From Cowboys and Aliens

Today Jon Favreau tweeted for the first time about his upcoming film Cowboys & Aliens. Filming has begun and he posted a photo along with a couple tid bits about filming over the past couple days. Check out the photo below.

The film is based on a graphic novel written by Fred Van Lente and Andrew Foley from an original idea by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. The story takes place during a conflict between some Apache and Western settlers. But then from out of the sky a spaceship crash lands. The two rivals must put aside their differences in order to drive the Aliens back.

This film has been in development for quite some time with just about every major player having their hand at the script. But it wasn't until "Iron Man" and "Children of Men" writers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus put their touch on it did everything line up.

"Only 7 hrs of darkness. The crew works thru the night w/o lunch break to help make the days. "French Hours." They're a hard working bunch. Lots of big explosions. Nobody hurt. A good day at the office."
