Cowboys and Aliens

Cowboys & Aliens

Advanced Foam executed a number of set pieces for the 2011 film Cowboys & Aliens directed by Jon Favreau, starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and more. The film is based on the 2006 graphic novel of the same name created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. Various support struts were also made that are used in almost every scene. There are also several custom-made architectural shape designs that can be seen throughout the western town set.
