John Carter

Is everyone in Australia as high-strung as you?

I'm far from being "high-strung"... unlike a certain someone who's trolling around on the forum at the moment.

Who would that be?

More footage in a new tv spot

I like to consider Kazenji, the Mindy to my Mork. 😉

Fair enough.

Play nice, GENTLEmen... 😬

Another nice little trailer. Bomb or not, I still think this movie is gonna f*cking rock. I'm really enjoying reading the novels and this looks like a pretty awesome adaptation. I'm not sure Dejah Thoris is quite as beautiful as she should be, but perhaps I'm just not getting good enough of a look at her. I'm f*cking psyched about this.

But yeah, it will be hard for it to overcome a $250 million budget if it isn't marketed properly. Perhaps they're counting on word-of-mouth. I hope it does well, cuz the second book is f*cking awesome. I soooo want to see this turn into a franchise.

I'll play nice with your Mom, bro. j/k lol. She'll get it hard.

THEY NEED MOAR VIRAL MARKETING.

Get some sponsors from fast food and shit. "BUY A LARGE SODA AT MCDONALDS AND YOU MIGHT WIN TWO FREE TICKETS TO "JOHN CARTER", IN THEATERS _______"

etc etc.

Haha.. don't talk shit about my mom!! 😠 Haha.. 😛

Yeah, they totally need to do the fast food thing if it's gonna stand a chance. Maybe that stuff will start kicking in in February or something.

yet i'm still interested in this movie.

But Kazenji, you are on these forums. And you have time and inclination to go to movie websites to find news about the film. So you do have some time to fiddle around the movie forums. 😄

New international poster

Hm.. not a big fan of that one. But I hope the Japanese are!!

This is definitely my favorite poster so far...

How about this for marketing... this should inform a few folks...

YouTube video

Like I've said previously...it's the no-brain title that's letting the publicity down.

Well, they really shouldn't change the title. So I guess there's nothing they can really do about that. I thought the same thing at first, but now that I've read some of the stories, the title works. I think people might not notice that it's set on a fictional Mars, since they've taken Mars out of the title. So that might cause some confusion. I mean, it's kind of a strange story! Sci-fi often is... and the public often has trouble with that. But oh well, I love it. I guess Disney is banking on the strength of the stories (he's an excellent writer) and he seems like a strong director, so I have high hopes.

I think this movie is gonna suck.

I want to see this movie real bad. I always liked the comic. I just wonder if they will get it right.

The 4 armed green aliens look really kid friendly compared to how they draw them in the comics

I thoroughly disagree. That illustration is a little over-the-top to the point that it looks silly. I think the design for the movie looks perfect. These are at least as scary as anything from Pirates of the Caribbean (I think they're better, personally). They were apparently going for some sympathetic green men and some mean enemy green men. Hence the difference between these two.
