Sam Rockwell (“Iron Man 2”, “Moon”) has been cast in Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens, joining an all-star cast that already includes Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde and Harrison Ford.
Rockwell will “play a bar owner named Doc who joins in the pursuit of the aliens,” a role which Favreau and the writers — Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof — reconceived and expanded after they learned that Rockwell was interested in the movie.
Cowboys & Aliens is scheduled to hit theaters on July 29, 2011.
