 Well that was quicker than expected - the John Carter Sans Mars trailer is here! Watch it over at Apple. I've watched it just the one time through now in order to grab these caps you'll see below and while I love all the Taylor Kitsch nipplage we're getting here I think I expected a slighter larger scope off the bat? I dunno, I guess they've still got thirty-two years until this thing is out and the big effects probably aren't finished yet and they'll blow us away later on down the road. For now though it introduces us to the story and the world well enough.I'm really just waiting for the second book to get filmed anyway. It's much better!

The lucky a-holes of io9 got to visit the post-production oasis for John Carter, aka A Princess of Mars, Pixar's live-action adaptation of the first book of Edgar Rice Burrough's sci-fi genre building series, and have filed a terrifically detailed report from there, along with a decent amount of conversation with director Andrew Stanton. They've seen the trailer, they've seen Woola and the Tharks and Dejah Thoris doing a slutty shimmy no doubt (harlot). I liked this bit from Stanton:

"Tharks are 9-foot to 10-foot tall green aliens with four arms and tusks. They're all CG, so I went with my Pixar gut and experience, and got actors because of their eyes, their voice, and their acting ability. That's all that's going to be left when all of this is said and done. Those are three things that can translate directly to the animated characters, once they're portrayed there. I got Willem Dafoe and Samantha Morton, and this is what I asked them to do, which was to be on stilts with gray pajamas on, with face cams in 100-degree heat. That's how I sold it. I didn't know how else to get around this issue. I said, "How would you like to wear gray pajamas and be on stilts and wear face cams and stand in 100 degree heat in the desert for six months or three months?" They said, "Where do I sign?""

I have a feeling that Samantha Morton walks around on stilts in gray pajamas when she's in her backyard so this probably wasn't even weird for her. That's why we love her! (And now that I think about it, the same goes for Willem Dafoe as well. What a bunch of weirdos!)

Oh and I should mention this revelation also from the article, since it's been a question I've maintained since the beginning with this project - Taylor Kitsch is not I repeat NOT wearing only a leather thong the whole movie. Cheats! Scroundrels! Thong-stripping hooligans! Boo! BOO! (image via)
