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.

From the previous thread:

I’m excited about Hamilton too! The touring cast I saw here was fabulous, but it’ll be interesting to see the original cast. Well, and I’m just excited to see the musical itself again since I loved it.

Didn’t Stanton tweet a couple years ago that he planned to release the script for what would have been John Carter 2? Or was that just wishful thinking on my part?

elherts

Every October me and a group of about 30 people go to a Broadway Show.. this will be the first time in 21 years that we can't go. I suggested we do a Zoom meeting and watch Hamilton on Disney + which everyone loved. However, the other day my niece and I tried to watch CMBYN for her Italian Film Class and it wouldn't let me show it? Copyright maybe? But then she got it on Prime and it showed but the tracking and sound was off on my end. I do a Mr. Robot rewatch on Zoom every week with like 100 people and it's crystal clear. I have to figure that all out.

SouthernSweetieTX

That is so sad!

It wouldn't let you just share the screen in the zoom meeting? It was probably just a glitch. I can't imagine zoom is paying attention to what is screen shared...

worthyoflove

How do you do a zoom rewatch? That sounds fun.

elherts

So somehow, the admin of a Rami Malek facebook group plays the episodes from his screen while in a Zoom meeting. We are all muted but can type in the chat. We can unmute ourselves if we want to talk, but usually not until the end. But like I said, I tried to watch a movie with my niece and 1. The video wouldn't play in Zoom and then 2. She got it from Prime and it played but was off track and choppy to me. I have to find out how the Rami Malek admin does it so its so clear and perfect.

SouthernSweetieTX

We could try it for a rewatch, but it won't help our count.

elherts

Oh true. I didn't think of that.

So I finally read this 2011 New Yorker profile of Andrew Stanton to promote John Carter. I mostly just read the stuff about JC, and it’s pretty interesting! Apparently Disney never actually agreed to three movies — that was Stanton’s hope. Even after a positive test screening, Disney still wouldn’t OK a second movie. The movie would’ve needed to make $700 million for Disney to greenlight a sequel. The article also describes the reshoots (including the scene above) and the editing process; it’s interesting to read how and why certain things were tweaked. And it describes the test audience’s reaction to one of our favorite scenes. Here’s that part:

worthyoflove

Ugh, I just still can't wrap my head around the absolutely cluster **** that John Carter was marketing wise. I'm going to read this. That passage is interesting.

SouthernSweetieTX

Did we know there’s ten minutes of an extended scene from JC on YouTube?

worthyoflove

Maybe? Where is it. I'll post it or you post it. I wonder if it's on the DVD, but it's been so long or maybe never that I've actually watched it on DVD. It was on TV so often.

SouthernSweetieTX

I reread the title. I think it was a 10 minutes sneak peak. Exclusive, not extended. Nevermind me.

DaisyGirl14

It's been a while since I watched this. I'm sure I have the DVD but I think I also have it saved on my DVR.
