Edgar Rice Burroughs' "John Carter of Mars: A Princess of Mars" wird nach langen Jahren endlich verfilmt...
Urplötzlich auf den Mars geworfen, sieht sich John Carter (Taylor Kitsch, u.a. Gambit in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine") als Gefangener der grünen Menschen von Thark. Bei ihm ist Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins, u.a. Silverfox in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"), die wunderschöne Prinzessin von Helium. Doch zwischen ihnen und ihrer Rettung liegen eintausend Meilen unbekannter Gefahren und todbringender Feinde...
Jon Favreau (u.a. "Zathura") sollte bei dem SF-Abenteuerfilm "A Princess of Mars" Regie führen... Zuvor waren bereits Robert Rodriguez und Kerry Conran (u.a. "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow") im Gespräch...
Das von Ehren Kruger (u.a. "The Ring") verfasste Drehbuch basiert auf dem ersten Roman von Edgar Rice Burroughs' elfbändiger "John Carter vom Mars"-Serie, die Paramount als mögliches Tentpole-Franchise-Projekt aufbauen wollte... Dann wurde das Projekt auf Eis gelegt, da Jon Favreau zunächst "Iron Man" verfilmte...
Zwischenzeitlich verlor Paramount die Filmrechte und Disney/Pixar möchte nun seinerseits ein Franchise aus "John Carter of Mars" machen: Eine Mischung aus Live-Action und Animation soll es werden... Der erste Film der geplanten Trilogie soll am 27. September 2012 in die deutschen Kinos kommen - unter der Regie von Andrew Stanton (u.a. "Wall-E", "Findet Nemo") und dem kurzen prägnanten Titel "John Carter" (dt. Untertitel: "Zwischen zwei Welten")...

Formerly titled John Carter of Mars, Andrew Stanton's live action debut will now be released under the shorter title, John Carter, Walt Disney Pictures has confirmed.
Starring Taylor Kitsch as the titular lead, the film is based on Edgar Rice Burrough's science fiction series which sees Civil War veteran John Carter transported to the world of Barsoom (the Martian word for their own planet) where he becomes caught up between the different races of warriors who inhabit the red desert.
The title John Carter of Mars is actually that of the final book in the series. The first, which is said to the primary basis for the film, was published under the name A Princess of Mars (and originally serialized as Under the Moons of Mars).
Also starring Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy, Daryl Sabara, Polly Walker, Bryan Cranston, Thomas Hayden Church and Willem Dafoe, John Carter is planned for release on March 9, 2012.

Bei MTV gibt es ein Video-Interview mit dem Regisseur Andrew Stanton...
[...] the director told us that while shooting technically wrapped some time ago, the hard work is far from over.
"I'm not in post-production - I'm in digital principal photography now, which goes on for the rest of 2011, so I'm only halfway through the movie," he explained, indicating that there's a fair amount of effects-heavy work that's still to be accomplished.
So, what are some of those effects going to look like? Stanton kept his lips zipped in terms of the aesthetic of "Carter," though he gave an enticing tease: "I didn't try to make it look like anything else. I really tried to make it its own thing. I tried to make a very historically accurate Martian film if that makes sense, so I'll let you decipher that."
"Carter" was an interesting shoot for Stanton for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that this was the "WALL-E" director's first foray into live-action filmmaking.
"When you've made animated movies your whole life, it was pretty exciting to be outside for a day, let alone for months," said Stanton, a fixture at Pixar. "For as cold and as hot and as hard as it was, which I knew it would be, I was up for it and it was a blast. It was the hardest thing I'll ever have done, but man, it was a great adventure. It was like sailing across the ocean, you know, everything that goes with that."
Stanton, who said that "Carter" is still slated for a 3-D release as far as he's aware, also weighed in on the man responsible for bringing the titular hero to life, Taylor Kitsch. "Hopefully he'll be another great face on the big screen, and hopefully he'll be John Carter to people and nobody else if we've done it right," he said of his leading man. [...]

Disney’s upcoming John Carter of Mars adaptation just wrapped filming in Utah after five months of production. [....]
According to Utah Film Commissioner Marshall Moore, "This was an ideal project for Utah because of the unique landscapes we have within our borders. Lockheed Martin also recently used Utah as a double for Mars during an industrial shoot in 2009." Other alien run-ins at these Utah locations include scenes from Galaxy Quest, Evolution, Planet of the Apes (both the original and Tim Burton’s version), and J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek.
Production on Stanton’s film adaptation began in London in early 2010 before moving to Utah in April where production finally wrapped this past week. A lengthy post-production period for visual effects is expected, but it is unclear as to whether that will happen at Disney HQ or Stanton’s Pixar home base. Disney execs have already expressed their belief that the fantasy/sci-fi/adventure series will be their next Pirates of the Caribbean. [...]

[...] There's some filming in Utah, but most of it is in a studio outside of London. My character doesn't actually get involved in any of the motion-capture stuff. All the stuff is live action. Although I can shift my shape, so I have to be photographed by a 360-degree camera. I can adapt into anything. That's going to be my particular talent. [I ask what he'll transform into] Other human beings mainly. [...]

Walt Disney Pictures has announced that "Wolverine" stars Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins (confirming our earlier scoop) will reteam for John Carter of Mars, the live-action debut of WALL-E and Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton.
Kitsch will play the title character, a damaged Civil War veteran who finds himself mysteriously transported to Mars where his involvements with warring raced of the dying planet force him to rediscover his humanity.
Collins will play Dejah Thoris, the heir to the throne of Mars' Helium kingdom.
The screenplay for the sci-fi action-adventure, based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs classic series of fantasy/sci-fi novels, was written by Stanton and Mark Andrews with a polish by Michael Chabon.
Jim Morris (WALL-E) and Colin Wilson (upcoming Avatar, Munich, War of the Worlds) are producing the film, which will start production early next year.

Der Salt Lake Tribune berichtet über die kommenden Dreharbeiten in Utah...
[...] Disney and Pixar, makers of classic animated movies such as "Toy Story" and the recent hit "Up," are expected to partly film the pulp science-fiction adventure "John Carter of Mars" in Utah from November to July 2010.
Portions of the Beehive State will double as Mars, including Lake Powell (where the original "Planet of the Apes" was partially filmed), Moab, and Kane and Wayne counties.
In exchange for filming here, the production will receive a tax credit through the state's film incentive program. On Thursday, the Governor's Office of Economic Development board approved an application for the credit submitted by the movie's production company.
"It's the biggest movie we've ever used incentives on," said Utah Film Commission executive director Marshall Moore. "We haven't seen these kinds of numbers since doing a TV series for a year."
The San Rafael Swell already doubled as the planet Vulcan in this year's summer blockbuster "Star Trek," but second-unit crews only shot for four days in Utah.
Disney is scheduled to shoot in Utah for 45 days. The story, based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs science-fiction book series -- which begins with A Princess of Mars -- is about an American Civil War veteran who is transported to Mars to face a series of adventures.
Burroughs, who was born in Chicago, was no stranger to Utah, working as a railroad police officer in Salt Lake City in 1904.
The movie has been in development for several years, and noted directors Robert Rodriguez ("Sin City") and Jon Favreau ("Iron Man") were at one time slated to direct the live-action film. The movie, which is planned for release in 2012, will be directed by Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo," "WALL-E").
According to a GOED executive summary, the filmmakers are committed to spend $27.7 million in the state and employ 398 Utahns during the seven months of pre-production and shooting. In turn, the production would receive a $5.5 million tax credit under the state's incentive program. [...]

Bei SciFiWire.com gibt es ein erfreulich klingendes Interview mit Andrew Stanton...
WALL-E director Andrew Stanton told SCI FI Wire that he is working on a new draft of his proposed John Carter of Mars movie and is aiming for a realistic feel to the live-action movie, his first.
"[I'm] deep into it," Stanton said in an exclusive interview at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association award ceremony in Century City, Calif., on Monday, where he accepted the award for best picture of 2008 for WALL-E. "I'm on my next draft of it. We're in preproduction art-wise, and we're starting to talk to actors. So it's full bore."
Stanton confirmed that Carter, based on the books by Edgar Rice Burroughs, will be live-action. "Yeah, I think that's the only way," he said. "I mean, there are so many creatures and characters that half of it's going to be CG whether you want it to be [or not], just to realize some of these images that are in the book. But it will feel real. The whole thing will feel very, very believable."
Following is an edited version of the rest of our interview with Stanton. John Carter of Mars is slated for release sometime in 2012.
What inspiration did you take for your art concepts?
Stanton: Well, we're going very authentic, I guess is the way to put it. I don't want to give too much away, but it's such a foundational story to so many films and stories and sci-fi ideas that have come since the '30s and 1912 and stuff. So the trick is how to not make it seem cliché and derivative because it's such an archetype story now.
How would it feel to be the guy who finally got it done?
Stanton: It would feel awesome, because I spent most of my life just being a fan of those books and being a cheerleader from the sidelines of anybody that was trying to make it. I never thought I would be lucky enough to be one of those guys associated with it, let alone helming it. I would love to break the curse.
How do you even approach that adaptation?
Stanton: Well, I've surrounded myself with a couple key people that are just really smart, really talented, and we just keep saying the same thing we've always said about any other films. What would I want to see? Or what would I not want to see?
How many pages is your latest draft?
Stanton: Oh, it's just like a regular movie. It'll be a two-hour film. ... You don't want it more than 120 [minutes], because it only grows, those films.
Is developing a live-action movie the same process as developing a Pixar animated film?
Stanton: Well, it's not being done by the Pixar crew. It's being done by Disney, and I'm sort of being loaned out. We're sort of using any element that we need to to make the film right. We're not being purist with Pixar, but Pixar's a brand that you have to trust that's for all ages. This story of John Carter is not going to be an all-ages film.
Are you thinking PG-13?
Stanton: Well, if you do the story right, there's no way you couldn't.

Andrew Stanton, who is writing and directing John Carter of Mars, based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' books, told SCI FI Wire that he and co-writer Mark Andrews will be putting their own spin on the iconic story, and a Pixar manager added that the film will have a unique look as well.
"I'm going to do what I remember more than what they exactly do" in the books, Stanton said cryptically in a group interview at the Emeryville, Calif., headquarters of Pixar on Sept. 25.
Stanton (WALL*E) added that he is currently deep in writing with partner Andrews, a storyboard artist at Pixar, on the script for Carter. "John Carter of Mars is what I'm writing right now with Mark Andrews," Stanton said. "Writing, it's all about writing this year."
Jim Morris, general manager at Pixar Animation, promised that the movie will not look like previous attempts to adapt the franchise for the screen. "Everything that's been out there has been an attempt to kind of capture this Deco-esque [Frank] Frazetta vision of John Carter, which I think feels old and stale," he said. "And where Stanton is going--from what we've seen so far--is very different than that. And I think that the people who really love the essence of the books will really dig it, but so will audiences in general."
Asked if the film would be in 3-D, Morris added, "I hope not!"
The film is based on the early 20th-century Barsoom series of books by Burroughs, the California author of the Tarzan series. It centers on a Civil War veteran who finds himself transported to the Red Planet and caught up in various battles and intrigues involving giant green creatures and an alluring princess.
It's been reported that Carter may incorporate live-action elements amid animation. Stanton's WALL*E was the first Pixar production to incorporate live action. Morris declined to discuss the matter.
"John Carter is in its very early stages and there is much to figure out about that so we'd be premature," Morris said. "We are looking at a variety of different approaches and techniques for that ... We're kind of a bit early in the development of that."
Morris added: "I'm sure I speak for all of the science fiction geeks, fans and aficionados when I say it's finally time to see that movie. And I, for one, am delighted that Andrew Stanton is the guy that's making the movie, because he's a story-driven guy."
