“Standing in the desert with a six-shooter on his hip, Harrison Ford seemed as surprised as anyone by the fact that he hadn’t starred in a cowboy movie since Jimmy Carter was in the White House,” reports Geoff Boucher for the Los Angeles Times. “Back in the hat … yeah, it has been a long time,” Ford said last year as the crew of “Cowboys & Aliens” set up for a chase scene. “Longer than a lot of these guys have been alive, I’m sure.”
“The thing I was most curious about coming in was tone,” Ford said. “You don’t get it off the page. They’re just words, so we dug in for almost two months of work on the script in these story conferences trying to define the character and the lines and the tone. The trick of this thing and the beauty of this thing is that it’s a cowboy movie first and then stuff happens. Even after stuff happens it doesn’t change — it hasn’t suddenly changed into another kind of movie. It’s still a cowboy movie. And that’s what’s incredible about it because nobody has done that before, that’s new territory.”

The U.S. TV show “Time Tunnel” (~ 1967) did an episode in which a couple of aliens invade an Arizona town in 1880. Guns can’t hurt them and they control the town for a while, but then one of the townspeople smashes their power device and they have to leave. I don’t know whether anyone involved with “Cowboys and Aliens” was influenced by the TV show, but somebody did think of the basic idea quite a while ago.
