Disney’s John Carter opens March 9, 2012 and is directed by Academy Award winner Andrew Stanton. In the 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.
Based on the story “A Princess of Mars” by Edgar Rice Burroughs who was born in Chicago and is best known for writing and creating Tarzan—still one of the most successful and iconic fictional creations of all time.
