Even though it's getting a solid F for effort on title, the TV movie Alien Western actually looks pretty interesting. Marsters is stars as Sam Danville, a prisoner who's about to be executed, but his day of reckoning is interrupted by an alien attack. While I'm not a fan of the noises the aliens are making, I'll tune in for Marsters any day. Check out the clips below. Western premieres on the Syfy Channel on June 1st.

When is someone just going to give Marsters his own genre show? I don't understand it.

Cute-as-a-button co-star Sanny van Heteren posted a few pics from the set showing a dirty Marsters ready to kill some alien-bug scum. The plot of Alien Western is centered around a little town that gets attacked by giant alien bugs. Marsters plays Sam Danville, an outlaw who's supposed to be executed when the aliens land.

Anyone else thinks Marsters just picks parts off of a role playing fantasy to-do list? Vampire, check. Space and time traveler, check. Savvy thief, check. Green alien, check. Cowboy, check. I can't wait until he plays the firefighter with the troubled past followed by the Mexican apple thief. (Ten points if you catch that reference.) Either way, I'll clear my schedule to watch him slay aliens, get dirty and say yee-haw. Especially since it looks like he is going gorgeously gray around the edges. Plus giant bugs, people. This may actually be one Sci Fi original that's made of win.
