Concept art for sci-fi John Carter revealed online

*A couple of concept art shots from Disney’s in-production
sci-fi _John Carter_ (previously _John Carter Of Mars_) have been
revealed online.*

An adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic novel, the film
stars Taylor Kitsch as the eponymous hero, who is transported to Mars
and becomes embroiled in a war there.

Pixar director Andrew Stanton (_Finding Nemo_, _Wall-E_) is directing.
He recently spoke with _Hero Complex_ about the film, revealing it
won’t have a presence at this year’s Comic-Con.

“I think what it was is the perception that it’s getting
harder and harder to stand out amid the din,” he reasons.
“We want to control how and what is being seen and the way it is
presented.

“So much stuff now is just spit out so fast and the churn of it
all. You almost gain nothing by talking about things really early in
this day and age.”

The director also cited “_Apocaplyto_ and _Rome_ and even things
like _Shogun_ and _Lawrence of Arabia_” as references for his
film's strange new world.

_John Carter_ opens March 2012, and also stars Lynn Collins, Samantha
Morton, Mark Strong, Bryan Cranston, Thomas Hayden Church, and Willem
Dafoe.
