Cowboys & Aliens may not have been the biggest hit of the summer, but it certainly sports the best cast.

Director Jon Favreau assembled a diverse cast, pulling from the top names in Hollywood young and old. Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano, Adam Beach, Noah Ringer, Clancy Brown, Keith Carradine—and that's just the main cast. Trickling down into the supporting roles are recognizable character actors and Western staples. Favreau even found a part for Brendan Wayne, grandson of the legendary John Wayne!

In this exclusive glimpse at the making of feature "Igniting the Sky" from the Cowboys & Aliens Blu-ray, Favreau and his cast wax poetically on working with each other, the experience of performing alongside people you simultaneously admire.

Cowboys & Aliens hits Blu-ray December 6.
