First and foremost got.

Powell and you know one of my question is how you create -- -- -- through my question is.

How did you get into my head like thirty years ago and steal that idea for me and make a movie out.

Well maybe as little London British but I would it would -- -- you really don't go ahead.

I look kid is playing you know -- was Indians and bank robbers and all that sort of thing and you know.

Kind of got bored in need of all the more need a little bit SI 5000 kind of went out and bought since scifi stuff from taped up and made it little ray -- and I'm through these little pop rock thing -- that would you know go proof on the ground yeah this kind of fun with -- and you'll get -- -- they get mom upset because it hit the -- Okay I did that to an -- make a movie so how did that become a major motion picture.

How does that work I guess -- I guess as lucky that they liked the graphic now.

He.

We wrote the novel and Greg nice right page okay good and the film.

If he's doing pretty well all right.

-- yeah when the box office.

Yeah and now we're opening around the world and I couldn't be more thrilled beyond -- the whole time and seeing a -- -- come to life.

It's and they did a good job that you they've they've brought here you stripped for life -- their -- that you enjoy.

He liked it.

I absolutely that is the greatest thing I had I was that was watching these -- -- come down from these.

And flying spaceships and going -- the town and it was really -- the company -- -- just really hear it.

So the film inspired a new -- for children called cowboys and aliens that kids it says here tell me about.

I got together with Chris Adams and -- -- brainstorming about what we can do what we can do for kids and I as -- as the title it's like 101000 pages it's our whole.

Universe including cowboys and aliens and -- the Disney and all kinds of different cool things.

And want to do something for kids and figured if we get a little bit before the war -- took place severely quote as we could pick a cowboy and Indian -- to be really pivotal but also pick.

An alien that wasn't part of the bad guys.

That's actually part of this race who -- -- graphic novels that later on come back and help us on earth.

Get rid of bad -- -- try to.

Yeah and there's just got the story of his three kids -- -- -- -- -- poison not really caring about differences dissing the differences in their toys and wind and have fun.

And it is a great joy writing a book.

And writing the -- and it's awesome color you take pictures and those people.

They do all these really cool things and benefits the starlight children's foundation tell me about them.

It's that to starlight foundation is great great foundation and we want to do something.

For them and figured out to cool thing to do would be to -- the pieces every -- sold to them and it's just.

It's great because helping those kids and it's around the world and -- helping kids in the hospital and its.

Really cool and of course think it definitely happened color I get but it -- is there a charge for this.

The free yeah it's no no no that's in the App Store and on.

For iPhone and iPad and that sort of thing -- warning we're -- but it's it's for kids for an end.

So here you have to buy -- their Q well.

That some of those older kids like -- that you just got our our all million span or there are good aliens.

Is that there's tons and tons and tons of aliens that's like wanted to keep -- him feeling -- -- he's part of this.

He goes back to rule empire and decides to.

There's lots and lots and -- men realize.

I know well in real life who knows.
