San Diego Premiere of Cowboys and Aliens

The premiere of Cowboys & Aliens was held at the San Diego Civic Theatre on Saturday during the Comic Con festivities. Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Sam Rockwell, executive producer Steven Spielberg and director Jon Favreau walked the red carpet in San Diego, California.

The film is set in 1873 Arizona where a spaceship arrives with the intention of taking over planet earth. The aliens first target is the Wild West and it is up to the cowboys to save the planet.

Interesting premise. I wonder how I will like the combination of sci-fi and western themes.

E! Online spoke to the actors about their time on set of the star studded film. Olivia Wilde discussed her first time meeting Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford:


“I was so star struck. I didn’t know what to do! I think I was completely silent the first meeting. And then they were so cool! They were really the coolest guys. And by the end of the movie, we were all family," Olivia told E! Online. 


She walked the red carpet in a black gown by Dolce & Gabbana that featured lace detail at the shoulders and neck. She opted for minimal accessories and a pulled back bun.

Harrison Ford describes how his character was initially supposed to carry a whip, similar to the one his iconic Indiana Jones charcter carried:

That was quickly forgotten. There was no discussion about it. It was just obvious," he joked.  


Doesn't Harrison Ford look amazing? He's 69! He was accompanied by his wife, actress Calista Flockhart.
