"John Carter of Mars" Moving Ahead!

[Admiral Buzzkill]

This looks pretty good.

Clothing is pretty much frowned upon on Barsoom in all the books, as I recall.

And since the movie has too much Plot (And too high a Budget) to go for an X Rating, they kinda gotta put some clothes on them, despite it going against Canon

Well, it would take more than nudity to get an X Rating, but I'm sure Disney thinks nudity would compromise the box office.

we don't want this turning into spartacus do we?

I don't know. I've never seen it.

That does put a wrinkle in the story telling.

Dejah Thoris never got wrinkled, either.

 

[Sindatur]

Although, yea it takes more than a little nudity to warrant an X Rating, but, having all the characters running around naked, all the time, is an entirely different story, and I think would qualify, LOL

 

[RJDiogenes]

It's okay with me either way. I'm over 18.

Disney Channel is airing a short featurette that contains a bunch of new footage.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Hmm. Now it's looking cutsier....

 

[JD]

Well, it was made for Disney Channel, so obviously they're going to single that stuff out. Honestly, I'm kinda surprised to see them promoting a PG-13 movie on Disney Channel.

 

[Harvey]

Considering the production budget, I'd be surprised if there was a single outlet owned by Disney that wasn't promoting the hell out of this movie.

 

[Dream]

Considering the production budget

I don't understand where all the money went...

 

[Harvey]

Tons of CGI and years of development don't come cheap.

Good point.

I don't understand where all the money went...

I often wonder that.

 

[Harvey]

Seven months of principal photography, a massive cast of actors, a huge amount of digital effects (just look at how long the IMDB cast and crew page is) -- it's not a mystery where all the money went. Nearly being the most expensive movie ever made at $250 million, the budget may be a trifle excessive, but it's not hard to imagine why it was so expensive.

The film will apparently be about 2h17min (don't know if this is with or without credits) which seems like a good run time for this kind of story.

 

[timothy]

very cool and most likely we will have to sit through the credits just in case they put something in the very end.

Several longer clips of the soundtrack have been released:

I haven't had time to listen to it yet, but I just love that you can tell that Giacchino is writing the score just by looking at the track names.

The (extended) Superbowl trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7krwq5hZPY0

I like this one much better than the previous trailers. Looks pretty awesome, actually!

 

[Gov Kodos]

It does look like fun, I hope it gets released in Korea at the same time. I am still waiting for Underworld, it opens at the bottom of February.

 

[Warped9]

I definitely want to see this on the big screen! It looks like it could be fun.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Well now, that was more than a little bit Avatar.

Can't wait to see this.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Looks good. I so want to see this.
