It will be for the first time that Harrison Ford of Indiana Jones and Daniel Craig best known for his James Bond act will be seen together on screen in Jon Favreau's Cowboys and Aliens.
The movie is said to be a mix of mystery and explosive action and the duo has been doing more or less the same in their own respective fields. The film is based on a comic book series with the same name.
Craig plays a stranger who has suffered a memory loss. He lands in a town which is not open to strangers and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted colonel played by Ford.
"Ford plays Colonel Dolarhyde, this role is very different from what he has played in the past and I think Craig dawns the hat of a cowboy so well that I think he is a born cowboy," says director Favreau (Iran Man).
The film opens world wide on July 29, 2011
