"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." - YouTube

dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
Looks interesting. I read most of the Barsoom books as a kid - I will definitely go see this.
*promote anyway because we need good SF films. >> ^Barseps:
Sounds like they changed the song just enough to not have to get license. One demerit point for them.

siftbotPromoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Thursday, December 1st, 2011 1:35am PST - promote requested by dag.
sillmasays...What? Is this for real? I was sure it was a mash-up of a few bigger movies with self-made material by some aftereffects pro. Seemed like such a straight copy mix'n'match of avatar, starwars and spartacus(tv series).
antIt reminds me of Prince of Persia movie.
grinterwell, the premise seems reasonable enough.
Trancecoachexactly my thoughts -- such a poorly disguised Kashmir.>> ^Barseps:

DeanoLooks like the recession's not affecting the CGI guys. Looks utterly tiresome. I guess someone felt we needed some post-Avatar action.
citoCourse Kashmir was a ripoff song also as explained by Jimmy Page, he took the guitar riff from another song
course most all of Led Zeppelin's songs are like that, which they've been accused for over the years, brief mentions on wikipedia, but Jimmy Page on the latest documentary "It Might Get Loud" admits to ripping off the guitar riff from another song for Kashmir

Um... he didn't 'rip off the riff'... he took a part of another of HIS songs and used it. Musicians do that all the time. Swan song was an unreleased track, and the tape he was talking about was HIM playing.
Geeze... if you're going to accuse people of ripping off music, accuse the right people for the right songs!
Hive13Avatar called and they want their shit back.
Praetorsays...Avatar needs to open the letter from Edgar Rice Burroughs that was sealed in 1912 and given to the post office to hold for 97 years, telling them to stop stealing his shit.
Good day, sir!
00Scud00says...I guess everyone missed the memo that stated that pretty much everything has been done before, which means everybody is stealing somebody's shit, we're all cultural thieves.
BoneRemakeHorrible has taken on a new meaning to me.
gwiz665Looks fucking great. You people are sourpusses.
lampishthingThis looked awesome to me then Disney popped. "Damn, this is going to get real shit real soon." Sure enough...
Cna't decide if that my bias or actual impression from the trailer though. Damn hipsters.
