Lord Liaden Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer Looks encouraging. Interesting styling of the air ships. Hope we get to see more of the green Martians soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer I remain skeptical. Still, it won't cost me anything extra to Netflix it when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranxerox Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer Well, the Disney pedigree rules out us getting a decently indecent portrayal of Dejah Thoris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexMundi Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer That could be a good thing......Dejah wasn't the only one running around nekid in those books, heh. Not sure I want to see hordes of Martian Green Men all doing the Full Monty on the IMAX screen. I'm willing to give Disney a shot with this one. With the stuff they are keeping close to the books I would say it has potential. Besides, Syfy already put out an Assylum "A Princess of Mars", Disney can't do any worse then THAT. ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it looks like they're looking for something that could take over the audience they hooked with the PotC movies. They know they've got a huge body of work they could milk for a BUNCH of canon films, with built in breakpoints where the leading man changes which will save them in contract talks. There are potentially great rewards for making this not suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer Keep in mind that "naked" may not have meant quite the same thing to Westerners in 1920 as it does now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steamteck Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer I'm hopeful. I didn't see this so I posted the trailer in general discussion already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer Does anyone see any violent decapitations or amputations? Seriously, I'm holding out for the Barsoomian version with English subtitles. Possibly cgi, but only if done as a moving Frank Frazetta painting.

RexMundi Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer I'd be down for the Frazetta look, but if you make it to violent.....well.....considering what folks play for games nowadays I don't think you COULD make the movie to violent, heh.... ~Rex.....says the problem with going for a Frazetta look, is that most of Hollywoods Women wouldn't work, because they are are underfed waifs that look like 12 year old boys, and most of the Men wouldn't work because you would need, an Army of guys like Jeffery Dean Morgan in a weight room non stop as opposed to little girlie Dancer Pretty boys that look like 12 year old girls.....

Susano Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer The problem is, the filmmakers already stated they were going to discard the Frazetta look as 'out-dated' or something like that. I'm also with Steve Long and am very neutral on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's part of my concern. Every single thing I've heard the filmmakers say, or seen them do, about this movie leaves me veeeerrry skeptical that they "get it." But like I say... won't cost me anything to see it on Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer I like Frazetta as much as the next pulp fan, but Burroughs wrote these stories before Frazetta was even born. Frazetta's work is just one artist's vision of the Barsoom. It is admittedly very popular, but it is not even remotely sacred gospel. I'm willing to consider alternate visions of Barsoom's aesthetic insofar as they work with, rather than against, the prose and contain sufficient "cool."

Mister E Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer Frazetta's vision is respectful. More so than any movie ever made about Tarzan. More so than any Disney movie ever made. ~ Mister E ("Me E! You not E!") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hyperbolizing because I'm afraid they aren't. Which is a far cry from 'exclusive.' Its worthiness makes it unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbullet Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Re: John Carter (of Mars) Trailer After seeing the teaser I have a lot higher hope. Again it's hope, but I like what I see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
