With Iron Man II sitting in the can, and the studio mulling over whether or not to convert it to 3D for next summer's release, John Favreau has some time on his hands. Well, it appears as though he has been roped in by his iron-clad buddy Robert Downey Jr. to direct the Dreamworks/Universal long gestating property Cowboys and Aliens.

The production is set to start shooting next summer with Star Trek scribes Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci hammering out the screenplay for this one.

The story takes place in Silver City, Arizona, where Apache Indians and Western settlers must lay their differences aside when an alien spaceship crash lands in their city.

Color me excited. You?
