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.

alright, i've only heard of it because i used to actually work in a comic book store, but... uh... no, this will not be good. Whoever's idea it was to make Cowboys and Aliens into a movie reeeaaallly needs to be fired because they probably didn't actually read the thing and realize how fucking mindless it is. Although considering most of the shit that comes out of Hollywood now, I suppose it could be worse...
