Olivia Wilde is becoming one of those actresses who is everywhere despite the fact that I have no idea who she is. She's a main star on House, which I admit I don't watch, and managed not to embarrass herself as a member of the expansive Year One cast, which is impressive given that it's a movie in which Oliver Platt has oil rubbed all over himself.
Wilde will probably be reaching a critical can't-ignore status with this December's Tron: Legacy, and now she'll be following it up with yet another high-profile project, starring as the female lead in Cowboys & Aliens. THR reports that her character will join Daniel Craig's in the uprising against invading alien forces-- in the Old West, of course. Jon Favreau is directing the script by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof, whose names you may remember being attached to a movie called Star Trek. No biggie.
In the original comic book, based on sources here, the main character was apparently a rough-and-tumble frontier chick named Verity, who in fact resisted the romantic allure of main character Zeke (Craig's role), but may have started something up with an Apache warrior character named War Hawk. My guess is Verity's name has been changed to Ella since it's an Old West kind of thing that probably works better on paper, but hopefully they'll keep some of the more kickass elements of the character as well. Nobody likes a woman who's no help when the alien invasion gets going.
never heard of anything about this movie before now, but Olivia Wilde plays in it so my interests are perked...lol
