Fernando Mexia, the pen.
That devourer of stories called Hollywood never tires of attacking the strangest ideas to make them a movie, usually mediocre, with the sole purpose of convincing moviegoers to contribute part of their income to sustain its profitable cinema .
Producers increasingly risk-averse, they insist on clinging to sadly past successes to draw the audience of the future or making bizarre combinations of characters, times or stories that stuck in a shaker result in the precious elixir billionaire . The quality, unfortunately, is not fashionable.
The last course in this "fast food" of ideas that seems to take a film is "Cowboys and Aliens", a shocking story that puts Clint Eastwoods john waynes and the conquest of the West to fight the invaders from space in the desert Arizona countryside.
The meeting in the third phase in the "Far West" achieved something unprecedented, that the rude and smelly jeans, armed with Winchesters and Colts, ally with the Reds to expel aliens from the planet.
I can not wait to see how this story will become impossible to collect in a comic book published in 2006 but already deck for film since 1997 . The graphic novel "Cowboys & Aliens" is online and is freely available .
Is it a western with aliens and fights in the saloon or a science fiction movie with western hats and peace pipe?
I acknowledge that the idea gives me rashes and curiosity in equal measure, especially since I knew that Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau , actor and director of the saga "Iron Man" have gone headlong into the project with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Despite the credit I deserve Downey Jr. and Favreau, who knows what in store for his alliance with the other duet.
Orci and Krutzman (producers and writers) have demonstrated a good hand with the box office and very little interest in caring for the frames. In recent years his work has left to remember the two parts of "Transformers," the new "Star Trek," the third "Mission Impossible" or "The Legend of Zorro".
We'll see what gives out this tape of Indians, cowboys and aliens in 2011, if it works, I predict a future even more twisted to Hollywood where he already tried his hand facing Aliens and Predators, Jason or Freddy and Monsters and Aliens.
This machine would not be surprising entanglements finish watching Rocky vs Rambo (Stallone with both roles), the Terminator against Robocop, Batman or Superman against White in front of Cinderella (I've always thought that the stars of the movies Disney was the same character but different characterization).
