This post is mainly for all the readers who seem to have heard of every "graphic novel" ever written. Personally, I prefer books without pictures. Go figure. Anyway, Brian Grazer, who's done some good work, and Ron Howard, who...hasn't, will be producing a screen adaptation of the graphic novel Cowboys and Aliens.
The graphic novel mixes Western and science fiction genres. Set in 1800s Arizona, a skirmish between cowboys and Apaches is interrupted by the crash landing of a space ship. The alien commander plans to tame the Old West and enslave everyone, but the cowboys and Native Americans turn their six-guns against the alien invaders.
It totally reminds me of that old commercial where the aliens come down from the sky and start giving a cow an anal probe and the old Injun dude standing nearby sheds a single tear. That was touching.
