Cowboys & Aliens stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde, as well as screenwriter Roberto Orci and director Jon Favreau, talk to us on the red carpet at the UK premiere, which took place at the 02 in London. This big-name film is produced by Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg.

Based on a 1996 graphic novel, the film tells the story of a group of tough 19th-century cowboys who must band together to face a deadly alien invasion. This fusion of the classic western genre with science fiction creates a unique mash up of ideas, action and comedy.

James Bond star Daniel Craig and screen icon Harrison Ford (Star Wars, Indiana Jones) talk about what it was like to work together for the first time. Daniel Craig also goes into the stunt work (and how much of it he actually did!). Harisson Ford discusses the challenges of playing his complex Cowboys and Aliens character, who is a bit of a jerk. Olivia Wilde tells us about her character and what excited her about this film, and about working with such big names – and what that means for the end product. Screenwriter Roberto Orci and director Jon Favreau (Iron Man) also pitch in, explaining the history and the devopment of the film and the challenges and fun of bringing Cowboys & Aliens to life on the big screen.

Presented by Russell Nelson
Camera by Lucy Wood-Ives
