First trailer for ‘John Carter’ arrives

Poster for 'John Carter'

Impressive. That was my first thought after watching the teaser trailer for John Carter. The way you knew Avatar was going to be something special, John Carter has that vibe and I can’t wait to see it. If only they would get a new poster. Watch it below and share your thoughts in the comments.

About John Carter:

From Academy Award–winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes John Carter—a 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.

John Carter is set to be released March 9, 2012.
