You’re familiar with J’onn J’onzz of Mars but do you know John Carter? The trailer from Disney’s epic adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom series has made it’s way to the internet.
The film stars Taylor Kitsch, formerly of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in the lead role as well as several other superhero film alums: Willem Dafoe (Green Goblin), Thomas Hayden Church (Sandman) and Mark Strong (Sinestro). Previously referred to as John Carter of Mars (the way the character is often referred to in the book), the film is based on the first book from the Barsoom series, A Princess of Mars, first printed in 1912. Carter is an American Civil War vet, who turns out to be more than that, transported to Barsoom (Mars) which he finds inhabited by large green aliens (not unlike our J’onn).
Studios have attempted to make a John Carter film since 1931 when Looney Tunes director Bob Clampett asked Burroughs to make it into an animated film. It never took off and neither did any other attempt until now. Directed by Pixar’s WALL-E director Andrew Stanton, John Carter hits theaters March 9, 2012.
