[Page draft submitted by 'Widgett'.]

July 26, 1998... A similar project, Ghost Riders in the Sky, was set up at Twentieth Century Fox some months back. Set to be directed by Jan DeBont and based on a story by W.D. Richter, the Fox project is currently on hold at due to budget concerns, so this film will probably leave the corral first (if it gets its own act together, that is.) Steve Oedekirk was originally scheduled to helm Cowboys and Aliens project (and he did pen the first draft) but he has since ridden into the sunset, so to speak. We haven't heard of any new developements regarding this project since early spring. [Originally appeared in Cinematter, Hollywood Reporter; reported by six-shooter 'Widgett'.]
