John Carter is an adaption of Edgar Rice Burroughs' timeless "A Princess of Mars." John Carter is played by
Friday Night Light's Taylor Kitsch, who is a Civil War veteran transported to Mars. The plot of the movie centers on him being Mars savior and rescuing the princess, played by Lynn Collins. This film is meant to be the first of a trilogy so expect Disney to make a big marketing push in order to make sure this movie gets off to a good start.
"I knew of Stanton, of course, and I was a huge fan," Kitsch says. "He was a big fan of Riggins, my 'Friday Night Lights' character, so right away we kind of pushed each other because we were so excited about just meeting one another."
John Carter starring Taylor Kitsch (John Carter), Lily Collins (the Martian princess Dejah Thoris), and Willem Dafoe (alien warrior Tars Tarkas). is set to hit theatres on March 9, 2012!
