Universal, DreamWorks to adapt graphic novel
Imagine partners Brian Grazer and Ron Howard will produce along with Platinum Studios chairman-CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg and Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. Ervin Rustemagic and Rich Marincic co-produce.
Script will be written by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby.
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.

Given that it's a Ron Howard - Brian Grazer production, and also that Imagine Films rarely makes a clunker, one could hold out mucho hope that the concept will fly. And it certainly will not be a cheapo, either. Sometimes, you just have to trust the filmmakers to reach beyond the original property itself...
All Best
