Director Jon Favreau is in negotiations with Daniel Craig to play the lead role in Cowboys and Aliens after Robert Downey Jr. left the project recently.Craig has been offered the role of Jake Johnson in the film, which is based on the 2006 graphic novel about a group of Apache Indians and Western settlers who decide to create an alliance when an alien spaceship crashes in their city set on human destruction.
According to Variety, Craig's reps are saying it's too early to confirm if the blue-eyed actor would indeed don some chaps as the lead in Cowboys and Aliens. The project is written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof.
With production on the next James Bond pic up in the air for the time being, Craig definitely has a open slot in his schedule to shoot Cowboys and Aliens.
I love Daniel Craig, but, for me, this role seems more tailor-made for RDj. What do you guys think about this bit of casting news?
