Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “John Carter of Mars”
Civil War veteran John Carter of Virginia seeks his fortune in Arizona only to find death in a lonely cave. However, he awakens on a new world with a new chance at life.
Called “Barsoom” by its inhabitants, the planet we know as Mars is home to a group of dying civilizations struggling for survival in an environment that is slowly losing its atmosphere and water. John Carter galvanizes Barsoomian society and wins the heart of Barsoom’s most beautiful princess.
The Disney Studios and Pixar Animation are collaborating on bringing Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter to life in a live-action feature-length film scheduled for release in 2012. The original story, “Under the Moons of Mars”, was first published in 1912 and became the basis for the novel A Princess of Mars.
