When Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out, I predicted it would be the start of Harrison Ford having a comeback, yet the two years after that seemed to disprove that theory. Now with Cowboys and Aliens coming out and this, it looks like Ford is finally choosing interesting roles again! The type of roles that made him a star in the first place!

With Cowboys & Aliens premiering tonight at Comic-Con, Harrison Ford has attached himself to another cowboy role, though this one comes with an interesting twist.
Ford is attached to star as an aging Wyatt Earp in Black Hats, an adaptation of a Max Allan Collins novel being produced by Thunder Road's Basil Iwanyk and Jason Netter of Kickstart Productions.
Kurt Johnstad, who co-wrote 300 and is co-writing its sequel, 300: The Battle of Artemisia, has been tapped to pen the adaptation.
Black Hats blends fact with fiction in its telling of the story involving an older Earp, the one who spent his last years as a private detective and movie consultant in Los Angeles. The spin involves Earp learning that his friend and compatriot Doc Holliday had a son, now living in Prohibition-era New York City. While Holliday is long dead, the son has gotten himself in trouble with a rising mobster, Al Capone.
Earp teams up with Bat Masterson, one of his former deputies and now noted sportswriter for the New York Morning Telegraph, to take on the gang in what becomes a tale of six-shooters versus tommy guns...
