Somewhere up in Heaven I think Edgar Rice Burroughs is smiling or cheerig. Here’s 4 minutes of Disney’s John Carter based on the first John Carter novel A Princess of Mars. I think director Andrew Stanton has done it! Bring on the Tharks!
I can’t believe we’ve had so many version of Tarzan and this is the first John Carter…hopefully it’s just the beginning! See you on Barsoom in March! Thanks to Twitchfilm. I suggest you check their more expanded review.
Edgar Rice Burroughs’ legendary novels comes alive on the big screen in Disney’s John Carter.
Taylor Kitsch plays the military officer transported to a bizarre new world. Director Andrew Stanton creates the strange world and warring races of Mars. Lynn Collins plays Princess Dejah Thoris. Collins was on the first season of True Blood an played Silver Fox in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Willem Dafoe plays the warrior Tars Tarkas, one of my favorite characters.
Disney’s John Carter arrives March 3rd in theaters.
