New Cowboys & Aliens Featurette Keeps The Comic Book Summer Rolling

Have you had your fill of comic book movies yet? Too bad, we still have two more coming down the pipe! That said, however, if you simply need a break from superheroes and have no problem with other adaptations from the medium, then you are in luck, as Cowboys & Aliens is only a little over a month away. Can't wait to see Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and more fight off evil extraterrestrials in the old west? Perhaps this new featurette will hold you over.

Featuring the likes of Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Jon Favreau, Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman, Apple has launched a new video going behind the scenes of the action-western, showing off some cool footage in the process. In the film, Craig plays Jake Lonergan, a man who wakes up in the middle of the desert with a strange metal gauntlet around his wrist and no memory of who he is. Wondering into the nearest town, he discovers a much bigger problem: aliens are invading.

Check out the featurette below or in HD over on Apple.
