A comic book writer wants Cowboys and Aliens to pay up for stealing his idea.
Steven Busti is suing the producers for infringement. The writer claims he wrotea comic created back in 1994.
You guessed it. The comic was called Cowboys and Aliens.
His version was published in another comic, Bizarre Fantasy. The producers of the movie created the graphic novel inspiring the Daniel Craig-Harrison Ford-Oliva Wilde movie in 2006.
Does he have any proof?
The lawsuit thinks so.
Busti states that his 1994 version appeared next a story about Scott Mitchell Rosenberg…
Rosenburg is a producer for the 2011 film. Ouch.

Get ready for more deadites!
Back in July, we heard that Sam Raimi was planning a remake of his 1981 horror cult classic The Evil Dead!
We were kind of excited about it, especially because we'd heard that Sam was talking about making the movie for a low budget, just like he did for the original!
Now, we're hearing that Sony Pictures has made a deal to distribute the flick, which is being put together by FilmDistrict and Ghost House Pictures.
Here's what producer Rob Tapert had to say about the project in a statement:
Fedora? Check. Whip? Check. Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones? Big Check.
The 69 year old actor is set to return as the daring archaeologist for a fifth Indiana Jones film.
Filiming is set to begin in 2012 and Ford will be 70 by the time filming starts.
In 2008, Ford was 66 when he filmed the fourth flick, Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. George Lucas is currently writing the story and Steven Spielberg is set to collaborate.

Lameballs!
Back in August, we were excited to announce that Ridley Scott had signed on to direct a follow up to his 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner.
Now, we're hearing that the film is still happening…but without Harrison Ford.
When asked about the project during a recent interview, Scott had the following to say:
Holy big 80s hair! Wowsa!
Is that really you, Harrison Ford? Did Han Solo/Indiana Jones really dress up like a Bret Michaels wannabe for Halloween? We're just wondering…
Yup, that's him. And his wife Calista Flockhart. The two attended a costume party in Brentwood, California on Monday looking like they just stepped out of a "Poison/Skid Row/Def Leppard/Insert Any 80s Hair Band Here" video.
Between the zebra pants, the skull t-shirt, the red jacket and the insane wig, we are pretty sure Harrison has actually won the Most Unrecognizable Award this year.
So cool that he can have a sense of humor about things though. Wouldn't you just love to spend a day hanging out with him??

Looks like Shia may have been right!
Back in June, Shia LaBeouf announced that a fifth Indiana Jones movie was in the works, and that Harrison Ford had begun getting into shape to reprise his role.
We were definitely skeptical, but during a Q & A following a recent 30th anniversary screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark, both Steven Spielberg AND Harrison Ford hinted that another Indy flick IS in fact in the works.
During the session, Steven said
Like, A LOT!
You might've heard a little story yesterday about how a bunch of little blue guys SMURFED Harrison Ford at the box-office.
Well, Mistah Ford is PO'ed about it and he shared his smurfing rage with Conan last night on his show.
Check out the clip (above) to see just how angry he get about those damn Smurfs!!!
