Taylor Kitsch Lands John Carter Of Mars

16 June 2009 11:46 PM, PDT | HollywoodNorthReport.com | See recent HollywoodNorthReport.com news » Canadian film actor Taylor "Friday Night Lights" Kitsch has been cast as the lead in Disney's upcoming adaptation of author Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter Of Mars, to be directed by Andrew "Wall-e" Stanton in 2010. Stanton confirmed that the $150 million budgeted sci fi production, will be live-action. "There are so many creatures and characters that half of it's going to be CG," he said. "but it will feel real. The whole thing will feel very, very believable." Author Burroughs of Tarzan fame, wrote 11 volumes of the Mars adventures, focusing on wounded Civil War veteran 'John Carter', whose retreat into a cave to avoid capture by Apache Indians takes an otherworldly turn as he's deliriously transported via 'time portal' to the planet 'Barsoom' (Mars), taken prisoner by 12-foot-tall multi-limbed green Martians, meets the princess of his dreams, becomes a king, raises Martian rug-rats and lives happily ever after. » Report a problem See full article at HollywoodNorthReport.com »
