John Carter #1: Lost in Our World. Found in Another.



Welcome to the 1st
J o h n C a r t e r
Appreciation Thread!


Plot:
The film is based on the first serial to feature John Carter, 1912's A Princess of Mars. Carter is an American Civil War veteran who is transported to Mars, here called Barsoom. Formerly an Earthlike world, it became less hospitable to life due to its advanced age: as the oceans evaporated, and the atmosphere thinned, the planet devolved into partial barbarism with the inhabitants hardened and warlike, fighting one another to survive. Barsoomians distribute scarce water supplies via a worldwide system of canals, controlled by quarreling city-states. The Martian atmosphere is maintained by a power plant. Carter rescues a humanoid Martian princess Dejah Thoris from the belligerent four-armed Green Martians, whose respect he gains for his superior strength and fighting ability. He enlists the Green Martians' assistance in winning a civil war, and saves Mars from destruction when its atmosphere plant malfunctions.




Tars Tarkas: When I saw you, I believed it was a sign... that something new can come into this world.

Cast:
Taylor Kitsch - John Carter
Lynn Collins - Dejah Thoris
Willem Dafoe - Tars Tarkas
Samantha Morton - Sola
Dominic West - Sab Than
Polly Walker - Sarkoja
Thomas Haden Church - Tal Hajus
Mark Strong - Matai Shang
James Purefoy - Kantos Kan


Crew:
Director- Andrew Stanton (WALL·E, Finding Nemo)
Writers- Andrew Stanton & Mark Andrews
Writers Credits- Edgar Rice Burroughs (novel and characters)

John Carter: My dear Edgar, I remember how I used to take you on my knee and tell you wild tales, which you always did me the great courtesy of believing. Now you are grown, time and space have parted us, but I reach out across that distance, to that same wide eyed boy and ask him to believe me once more. This wild tale begins thirteen years ago, in the Arizona Territory, between the Pinaleño Mountains and the backside of hell.



John Carter: Stand behind me, this might get dangerous.
[John fights the Zodangans. When he looses his sword, Dejah takes it and kills the remaining enemies]
John Carter: Or maybe I ought to get behind you...
Dejah Thoris: [Cleans the blood off the sword with John's clothes] You let me know when it gets dangerous.

Nope. Hence why I'm not surprised nobody has opened a thread for it.

The DVD is set to be released on June 5th in the US.
I saw the poster today and thought it was already out.
Freakin' poster has the release date so small, so misleading.

Thanks for setting up this thread Josie!

This film looks brilliant! I can't wait to see it. I've seen a trailer of it in the cinema.

It's an intriguing gif...
I'm tempted to download the movie before Tuesday.

Those two actors played on Wolverine Origins together.
I don't think they had scenes together, but they were both in the movie.

So good, you need to check it out.
So much better than all the X-Men movies combined and they were all pretty epic.
