Paul Dano For Cowboys & Aliens

Jon Favreau has cast one of ScreenGeek's favourite actors in his upcoming Cowboys & Aliens.

Paul Dano, who held his own against Daniel Day-Lewis in the magnificent There Will Be Blood, will join an already incredible cast, which includes Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig and Sam Rockwell. Dano will be playing a cowboy, alongside the freshly announced Clancy Brown and Keith Carradine, the latter as the town sherrif.

Craig stars as an amnesiac gunslinger who turns up in Absolution, Arizona, and doesn't get the friendliest welcome from Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). When aliens arrive and start to abduct the townfolk, a team of cowboys strive to fight back.

Iron Man director Favreau is currently shooting tests, deciding whether or not to make the Dreamworks flick 3D. NO, JON, NO.
