Lynn Collins Says John Carter of Mars is in Pre-Production

Oh, man, she is smokin' hot! I can't wait to see this movie! 2012 is too far away!

This GUYs is the 2009 Flash Gordon type of movie ....

And nice pic Brent !

Looking forward to this.

ITS DISNEY...AND SHE'LL BE WEARING A G STRING...DISNEY THROWING OUT UN DISNEY STUFF SHOWS HOW FAR THEY'LL EXPAND FOR MONEY.THATS TOUNGE IN CHEEK FOR DISNEY

Disney has several labels. If they are making the film under the actual Disney label you can forget anything actually resembling the story as written by ERB. The best we can hope for its a re-write with a few cutsey singing animal. And forget the pics above. With the target age of 10-14 the most skin you'll be seeing is her forehead.

I've been hoping for 20+ years they would finally make some of the great sword & raygun series of the early years into live action. But a John Carter of Mars movie with no combat and a G rating is a real let down. Why couldn't they go with their non-kiddie label like Touchstone or Miramax? What a waste.

Beef her up a little bit and she would make an impressive Wonder Woman.

Well, maybe thats abit much @ TEA lol!

But its going to be quite a space epic if they keep to a lot of the original stuff! ; D

All I read was "Lynn Collins", and then I felt the immediate urge to post!

Gawd, she is bee-yoo-tiful! So is Taylor! ;P

tHAT IS POSSIBLY ONE OF MY FAVORITe pics in the world.... I have said it befor and i will say it again.....

God i wish i was that wicker seat! you just know they are touching it. I can feel it in my bones.... it gives me POWER !... makes me focused........

@DDD totally agree man...all those women you listed knock my sock off comparitively - and Collin's seems to have a sweetness about her that many incredibly beautiful women lack, imo. God, I gotta say, after seeing Fox on SNL lastnight, alright I give in - she sucks as an actress. Cannot do comedy for shizza, and the rest of the time she was either "the girl from transformers" persona or was just playing a hot chick with little to no dialogue. Was pretty dissapointing.

@Betty You know that's not a bad idea - she has an exotic enough look that she stands out among many of the other possible candidates.

MAN THERE ISNT AN OUNCE OF FAT ON HER.

@bropous

You're right about the books and novels being great. But I really can't understand how anyone is excited that the stories will be gutted and kiddyfied.

This is not being made by Disney's Miramax or Touchstone label. It is being made by Disney Pictures supported by Pixar. That means 'G' rates script and wardrobe. And the swordplay will not even resemble the novel, instead we will get a Princess Bride if we are lucky.

The Mars series all 11 volumes (10 if you believe the last was written by someone else) is about John Carter the Warlord of Mars, greatest swordsman on two worlds. He doesn't just kill a few enemies, he stacks them like cordwood. And the major battles should have at least the scope and blood/gore level of Braveheart, not the duel in Princess Bride or Mulan.

I've been waiting for over 30 years for these to hit the screen. Can they do it in 2010? Heck yea. There are a dozen studios that could. But Disney's Movies engine for 'G' rate rugrat movies is not the one that will.

If the Kiddie train makes it, ERB's stories will be crushed for another 20 years, just like Heinlein's Starship Troopers was destroyed. It was a movies that completely ignored the book it claimed to be about.

@fartman

Fat chance. It will be a kiddie flick and everyone will be wearing school marm costumes.
