Walt Disney Pictures debuted a new ad spot for John Carter during last night’s Super Bowl and we have the full extended version embedded below.
Coming to theaters in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D on March 9th, the first live-action movie from Pixar director Andrew Stanton (Wall*E, Finding Nemo) stars Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy, Daryl Sabara, Polly Walker, Bryan Cranston, Thomas Hayden Church and Willem Dafoe.

This late in the game, I can’t help but feel John Carter need a stronger trailer delving into the story aspects for those who are not familiar with Edgar Rice Burroughs’ 11-volume Barsoom series. John Carter feels like the Star Wars prequels by the way of Prince of Perisa and although it is clearly an epic, grandeur piece the size of something maybe even like Avatar… the trailer just doesn’t give me enough reasons to care about the universe and its characters. That is not good just weeks before release.
What do you make of the trailer? Are you pumped for John Carter?

It doesn’t really get the juices flowing for me either, just a little bit flat. but I have every confidence it will be good because of the director Andrew stanton, also, the fact they aren’t saying too much has me wanting to know a little more. I did notice they had a brave heart moment going on there as well with the blue blood stain and the speech but as you said not enough to hook me and generate interest in the characters and world. It is hard to say though because I would be pretty annoyed if they told the whole story in the preview like so many films do.
This movie really does look like a mash-up of Star Wars and AVATAR. However, the book let alone the story, is over 100 years old now. It got promoted at the Super Bowl, so this movie should earn stellar numbers at the box office. I also hope that Andrew Stanton did a good job with the movie, considering that he’s one of PIXAR’s top film makers.
