Director Jon Favreau has made the first camera test for Cowboys & Aliens public via twitter. We obviously don’t know for certain who the shadowy figure in the photo is, but due to what appears to be “a mysterious shackle” on one wrist, we assume that it’s likely Daniel Craig, whose character Zeke Jackson is supposed to be adorned with one according to the synopsis.

Official Synopsis:

1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It’s a town that lives in fear.

But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.

Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents—townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors—all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.

Cowboys & Aliens is slated to hit theaters on July 29th, 2011 and stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, Paul Dano, Keith Carradine and Clancy Brown.
