John Carter Is Back from the Dead

Edgar Rice Burroughs fans are many, and pretty damn hardcore about how his work is represented. His characters are beloved in a way that only the most dedicated and fierce of fans can be – there was actual angry spitting over the latest "Conan" film when readers' reviews came out, so it was a big shock when we – uh, they – all loved "John Carter of Mars."

The film is a doozy, beautiful, true to the spirit, great acting, awesome FX, and not even wildly off the story. It also includes something so rare that it may be the only true example: GOOD "Hollywoodizing" of an already great story. Fans loved it. No one else got to see it though. None of the possible newbies, or people who just love good sci-fi and action flicks, because the f***ing studio dropped the ball.

In a statement, Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. President James Sullos said: "We will be seeking a new partner to help develop new adventures on film as chronicled in the eleven Mars novels Burroughs wrote. This adventure never stops. Along with a new "Tarzan' film in development by Warner Bros, we hope to have 'John Carter of Mars' become another major franchise to entertain worldwide audiences of all ages."

    I might be alone on this... but I STILL think JCM would have worked much better as a CGI animated film ala The Incredibles!!! I certainly think it would have found a much wider audience...

I loved John carter! I thought it was an underappreciated movie. I would love more movies in this series and I hope they bring back Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins. They were fantastic. I am a big fan of the original book by the way.
Just remember. There are such things.
