John Carter Of Mars stars Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Willem Dafoe, Samantha Morton, Dominic West, Mark Strong, and James Purefoy (among others). Filming on the project has taken over Lake Powell, Utah. And the pictures are starting to come in.
Above and immediately below are pictures of skulls and bones molded by Orlandi Statuary. He was contracted to mold a collection resembling those of a saber tooth. The bones are to be scattered about for a fight scene.
This from io9....
The first image is of a prop raft that floats, presumably for a water scene - our money is on a Mars canal moment, there are many on this planet.
The second picture has a small model of the temple to the Therns on the right hand side of the picture, in front of the arena. And here's the arena itself which John Carter Movie was told is being referred to as the "monkey arena" and you all know what that means, there may be giant white ape fights!
There are 20-foot-high statues of the Tharks - they're not green, but Mars rock red, although they do have four arms. Sadly, there are no pictures of these creations just yet. JCM suspects it's for the Thernian temple, which could be in one of the many pictures below of the far off buildings. Anything is possible the sets had plenty of green screens handy.
Last, but not least is my favorite. This picture was taken by a local realtor who has filming taking place every night right outside her back door. You can't really tell whats going on but it looks very foreboding.
