John Carter: Clips and TV spots for the year’s biggest gamble...

submit to reddit
With just over 3 weeks until John Carter begins rolling out across the Earth it is still very difficult to get ay true sense of how this film will be received. Like it or not, the source material will be unfamiliar to most(even the Marvel comics go back to the 1970s). Bringing the various aliens and landscapes to life has been a very expensive endeavour for Disney and with no stars or a name like Cameron or Spielberg, to draw audiences in, there will be an awful lot of people praying that the public give this film a chance in big numbers.

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.”
