Total Film caught up with Taylor Kitsch to talk about his new movie directed by Andrew Stanton
John Carter. Kitsch talked a little bit about how hard physically the role was for him saying,
"It’s the most physical role I’ve ever done. It’s beyond gruelling for me. I’m basically in every scene. You can see the action on it. The main thing I’ve learned is energy conservation.” He was also a little taken back by the challenges continuing,
"The script says things like: ‘He jumps from here to there and he fights these guys. You write it off when your reading it, but when you do it, it’s a whole day’s shoot. When John gets to Mars, everything is life and death."
If you are expecting just a big VFX driven movie Kitsch says you will be disappointed, because the film has a lot of character development.
"It’s a character-driven epic adventure rather than just crazy effects," he explained. But fear not as you can tell by the trailer
John Carter will have its fill of beautiful special effects.
John Carter stars Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy, Daryl Sabara, Polly Walker, Bryan Cranston, Thomas Hayden Church, Willem Dafoe, and will be released on March 9, 2012.
