Cowboys & Aliens Teaser Movie Poster #2 and Trailer

While we’re still over six months away from the premiere of Cowboys & Aliens, the film’s marketing is really starting to ramp up! First the official Cowboys & Aliens trailer was released a few weeks ago, and now a second C&A one sheet teaser movie poster has been unveiled. Strangely, both posters feature Daniel Craig with his face hidden. You’d think they’d want to start featuring their star’s steely gaze and piercing blue eyes. The Blot’s also hoping for a few character one sheet movie posters featuring Olivia Wilde (and maybe even Harrison Ford).



Cowboys & Aliens, directed by Jon Favreau, will premiere in the summer of 2011.

Cowboys & Aliens Teaser Movie Poster

The Blot’s never read the Cowboys & Aliens graphic novel, I’m nevertheless very excited for the upcoming live action movie adaptation if for no other reason than the film’s director and cast. The Cowboys & Aliens film is being directed by Jon Favreau and features a veritable who’s who of The Blot’s favorite actors, including Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano, Keith Carradine and Walton Goggins. Cowboys & Aliens is shaping up to be the next big comic book based summer blockbuster!

Then again, it’s going to have some really stiff competition for that title next summer from a number of more “mainstream” comic book franchises. While Cowboys & Aliens is not scheduled for release until sometime during summer 2011, its very first trailer will be unveiled by Universal Studios tomorrow. So keep your eyes peeled on The Blot Says… tomorrow for the new Cowboys & Aliens trailer!

ACLU Leading Freedom Forward Screen Print feat Olivia Wilde by Shephard Fairey

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proclaimed today, September 15, American Civil Liberties Union Day in honor of the ACLU’s 90th anniversary! To celebrate the 90th anniversary of this important organization and the end of the ACLU’s Leading Freedom Forward fundraising campaign, which brought in $407 million in cash and planned gifts, the ACLU commissioned Obey Giant’s Shephard Fairey to create the poster you see below featuring one of The Blot’s favorite actresses, Olivia Wilde (House, TRON: Legacy).

The Leading Freedom Forward campaign was the biggest fundraising campaign in the ACLU’s 90 year history and what better way to memorialize this amazing achievement and milestone than with some equally amazing artwork. Aside from being a super cool actress, Olivia is also an activist and civil libertarian. She said of the ACLU:

I believe we have to judge our society not by how we treat the privileged and the empowered, but by how we treat the silenced, the condemned, the undocumented, and all those whose views and rights are deemed inconvenient. The ACLU works tirelessly to uphold the promise of the Constitution, and I am proud to support their courageous and necessary work. (link)

No word yet if the ACLU Leading Freedom Forward Screen Print featuring Olivia Wilde by Shephard Fairey will go on sale to the public, and if so, how many prints/posters will be produced.
