Re: John Carter
The last attempt at this (Traci Lords Princess of Mars 2009) was soooo miserably awful that I despaired of ever seeing a good version of the book(s). I always wanted to make A Princess of Mars into a film, so I am hugely invested in someone doing a good job with the material.

Re: John Carter
Wow, color me unimpressed and I was actually looking forward to this movie. It looks like a cross between Prince of Persia and Conan to me. So much for Mars being the Red planet, looks a lot more iike the American Southwest than another planet; it's like the Stargate version of Mars where almost every planet looks like Vancouver.

Re: John Carter
Are the books worth a read? I have heard they are very outdated and haven't stood up to time very well.

Re: John Carter
The thing about John Carter of Mars is, it's one of the most famous sci-fi movies NEVER made. Studios and directors and scriptwriters have been trying to get a film adaptation made for as long as there's BEEN a film industry and have always failed! :eek
So, imagine my surprise when I discovered last night that The Asylum, the same B-movie studio that brought us the Transmorphers movies and all those crappy SyFy Channel monster movies, filmed Princess of Mars back in 2009 for a direct-to-DVD release starring B-movie faves Antonio Sabato, Jr. as John Carter (a veteran of the IRAQ war in their version :rolleyes) and Traci Lords as Dejah Thoris! :rolleyes
I can GUARANTEE you this will be prominently displayed on Wal*Mart store shelves come March, when the REAL film adaptation hits theaters, just as was the case with their recent direct-to-DVD movie Almighty Thor, starring Richard Grieco as Loki! :lol

Re: John Carter
This has all the earmarks of Gor, from what I can see...Man mysteriously transported to a Counter-Earth, two moons, less gravity, primitive armies, battles, D/S erotic interplay, otherworldly creatures (priest-kings), themes of honor, etc.
I know there has been a lot of comparison of John Norman' stories to Burroughs's The Mucker, and others over the years...but this seems blatantly Gorean to me.

Re: John Carter
Yeah, those two movies were just gawd-AWFUL! They are best forgotten! They did no service to the books, that is for sure. (The first 15 books or so were very good...the rest were mired in repetitive dross!)
If this movie actually is a take on the Gorean world, it just HAS to be better than those crappy two movies.

A Princess of Mars (1917)
Tarnsman of Gor, (1966)
Gor is clearly inspired by the John Carter stories, not the other way around.
