UPDATE: More Reactions To Andrew Stanton's JOHN CARTER Now Online
The Twitter embargo has been lifted for the Andrew Stanton-directed science fiction epic John Carter, which is based on the classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Check out some of the reactions...
From Academy Award®--winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes "John Carter"—a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). "John Carter" is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.
There you go. Based on this and previous reviews and reactions, it seems that Stanton pulled it off in many ways. Hopefully positive word-of-mouth will be big and everyone will go see it. I'll update if I find more reactions. Stay tuned.
Starring Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins and Willem Dafoe, Mark Strong, Bryan Cranston, James Purefoy, Dominic West, Thomas Haden Church and Ciarán Hinds. John Carter is set to hit theatres on March 9!
