The latter is a DreamWorks/Universal sci-fi western in which warring Apaches and cowboys set aside their squabbles to hound some extraterrestrials out of town. Downey Jr will play a former sharp-shooter in wild west-era Silver City, Arizona; Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg are taking on producer duties. Adapted from a graphic novel by Fred van Lente and Andrew Foley, the current draft is being penned by Iron Man writers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fe... | | Read Entire Entry |
