Disney has released a new poster for John Carter via iTunes Trailers. If there was ever any doubt that the film formerly known as John Carter of Mars still had the Red Planet in there somewhere, this very crimson one-sheet will put those fears to rest.
Synopsis: From Academy Award(R)-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 due in cinemas on 8 March 2012 in Australia and 9 March 2012 in the US from Disney.
