JOHN CARTER Behind-the-Scenes Footage and Clips
Disney's John Carter arrives in 3D on March 9th. Andrew Stanton (Wall-E) directed the film based on Edgar Rice Burroughs novel. Taylor Kitsch, Willem Dafoe, Lynn Collins, Mark Strong, Thomas Haden Church, and Samantha Morton star in this epic sci-fi adventure. Collider has shared over 13-minutes of footage and some clips. The film has been getting some good buzz as of late, and I am interested in seeing this adaptation unfold on screen.
Here is the synopsis:
From Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes “John Carter”–a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). “John Carter” is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.
The trailers and footage that we have shared so far have looked and sounded great. It does not hurt thatMichael Giacchino (Lost, Star Trek) is crafting the score to help set the tone. I have not watched Friday Night Lights, but am interested in seeing Kitsch take on such an awesome character as Carter. Be sure to check out Collider's massive collection of high-resolution images.
