New trailer for 'Cowboys & Aliens'

Jon Favreau's "Cowboys & Aliens" is scheduled to invade theaters July 29, 2011, and hey, I'm super excited about this one. A brand-new trailer for the sci-fi adventure has hit the Web, and you should check it out after the jump. Looks pretty darn cool. Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Noah Ringer, Paul Dano the charming Olivia Wilde and Sam Rockwell star.

In the flick, a stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford).

Awesome teaser trailer for 'Cowboys & Aliens'

Yes, I'm definitely sold already. Of course, I am referring to Jon Favreau's upcoming sci-fi adventure "Cowboys & Aliens," which now has a pretty awesome first teaser trailer you should check out just above.

The movie arrives July 29, 2011, which seems like forever away, given my excitement about it. Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano and Noah Ringer star in the spectacle.

Based on the popular graphic novel by Fred van Lente and Andrew Foley, the film focuses on how Indians and cowboys team up to battle invading aliens. It goes without saying "Aliens" looks really cool!

Story idea for 'Indiana Jones 5' set

A while ago, Harrison Ford announced George Lucas would be working on ideas for a fifth "Indiana Jones" flick, and now, it seems like the story for the sequel is starting to shape up. Ford talked to the BBC recently, saying a basic idea has been found.

"Steven and George and I are sort of agreed on a germ of an idea and we're seeing what comes of it," he told BBC. "The process works like this. We come to some basic agreement and then George goes away for a long time and works on it."

Ford also starred in the latest installment, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," which bagged $317 million domestically. It was not a fabulous movie, but both Lucas and Spielberg decided it would make sense to go for one more.

Trailer debut: 'Extraordinary Measures'

Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser co-star in Tom Vaughan's upcoming drama "Extraordinary Measures," which was formerly titled "Crowley." You can now watch the first trailer right after the jump.

Based on the true story of John (Fraser) and Aileen Crowley (Keri Russell), the film follows a couple who finds a gifted researcher (Ford) with a potential cure for their two children's fatal genetic disorder.

Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug, but as it turns out, things don't exactly go according to plan, and soon, the two face a problem that tests their relationship.

To tell you the truth, I'm not quite sure what to think about this trailer at this stage. The cast sure looks awesome, but the preview sells the film as a saccharine melodrama, which can either be a hit or miss.

Daily news dose: 'Battleship' gets release date; Harrison Ford says 'Indy 5' story in the progress

Here is a collection of short but important movie news out of Hollywood and from the Web:

• Universal plans to release Peter Berg's "Battleship" July 1, 2011. The film is a live-action version of the popular Hasbro board game. Berg told Variety the film is "a contemporary story of an international five-ship fleet engaged in a very dynamic, violent and intense battle."

• Harrison Ford apparently can't wait to return to the world of Indiana Jones. Speaking with France's Le Figaro, he said the story for a fifth "Indiana Jones" flick is already taking shape. George Lucas is busy working on the story, he said. I think they should just leave Indy alone for good. Enough is enough.

Diane Keaton, Jeff Goldblum seek 'Morning Glory'

This is getting interesting! Diane Keaton and Jeff Goldblum have officially joined Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams in Paramount Pictures' comedy "Morning Glory."

McAdams will star as a TV news producer who struggles to rescue a morning show by taking control of its difficult anchors (Ford and Keaton). According to Variety, Goldblum is set to play McAdams' boss.

J.J. Abrams will produce the project, while Roger Michell is on board to direct. Michell most recently directed the splendid "Venus," and his credits also include "Enduring Love" and "Notting Hill." Aline Brosh McKenna, whose credits include "The Devil Wears Prada," wrote the script.

Keaton was last seen in the disappointing comedy "Mad Money." Goldblum recently starred in "Adam Resurrected." He's filming "The Baster" right now. I only hope Ford and Keaton will be as solid a fighting team as Keaton and Jack Nicholson in "Something's Gotta Give."

Brendan Fraser joins Ford in 'Crowley'

Brendan Fraser is joining Harrison Ford in Tom Vaughan's upcoming drama "Crowley," which heads into production this April.

Based on the true story of John (Fraser) and Aileen Crowley, the plot follows a couple who finds a researcher (Ford) with a potential cure for their two children's rare genetic disorder.

ComingSoon says Ford is also on board as executive producer of the project, which is inspired by a "Wall Street Journal" article and Geeta Anand's book "The Cure."

Robert Nelson Jacobs, whose credits include "Chocolat" and "The Water Horse," wrote the screenplay. Vaughan also helmed "Starter for 10" and "What Happens in Vegas."

Fraser was last seen in "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor." He will next star in Iain Softley's family adventure "Inkheart."

Trailer radar: ‘Crossing Over’

From Yahoo! Movies comes the first trailer for Wayne Kramer’s drama “Crossing Over,” which stars Harrison Ford, Ray Liotta, Ashley Judd, Jim Sturgess, Alice Eve and Alice Braga.

Kramer calls “Crossing Over” a multi-character canvas about immigrants of different nationalities struggling to achieve legal status in Los Angeles.

I have to admit the trailer after the jump is pretty emotional. It sure had me intrigued.

Harrison Ford says 'Indy 5' may happen

Now that Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" grossed $316.8 million domestically and about $770 million worldwide, it's no surprise the guys behind the film are already thinking about another sequel. After all, it's all about the money and not the quality, right?

In a recent interview with Geoff Boucher at the Los Angeles Times, Harrison Ford said George Lucas is already working on an idea for a fifth "Indiana Jones" film.

"It's crazy but great. George is in think mode right now," Ford told Boucher. "It's automatic, really, we did well with the last one and with that having done well and been a positive experience, it's not surprising that some people want to do it again."

While I didn't exactly hate "Crystal Skull," I wasn't really impressed by the latest installment either. I personally don't need to see another Indy adventure, but who knows, maybe you do?
