One of the most epic sci-fi films of the year is John Carter, released in cinemas in just a few weeks. The posters to date haven’t tipped their hat to the history of the film, or given the sense of the artistic majesty in the film. Now Hero Complex has released a look at a special Mondo poster from J.C. Richard, to be given out to viewers who catch selected midnight screenings.
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.
John Carter is due in cinemas on 8 March 2012 in Australia and 9 March 2012 in the US from Disney.
