“This is a very original concept,” Ford continued, delving into some of the standard misconceptions people have about the film, based on the title alone.“It was an ambition of the writers and Jon from the very beginning to have a textured, layered experience for the audience. “Cowboys & Aliens” is kind of a good joke, but you
sit down, the lights go out and you gotta get way past that and start getting into something else, because that’s some poor version of “Men in Black.” You have to attend to both the myth of the West
and the reality of the West, you have to talk about relationships, because this is about going and getting
back our kin, getting back our people who have been snatched away. And what does that mean to a guy who treats his kid like shit anyway? Does it mean that he recognizes that this is unfinished business, that this is bad
business and that he’s got another chance at it?”
