My Favorite John Carter of Mars - Michael Whelan's Covers
The Book Covers of late 70's through the 90's.
I was already a huge fan of Michael Whelan's Sci-Fi & Fantasy Art when these images combined with
delving into the Pulp roots of Star Wars drew me into reading the series.
John Carter - Film Clip & Featurette Festival
Here are a Thoat-load of preview clips and featurettes for John Carter - Opening Tomorrow March 9th.
Three Featurettes ...
...and Three Scene Clips...
While I'm still deeply disappointed by the color drained and less than fantastical visual designs revealed so far, I will be seeing the movie and giving it a chance. I was surprised to find myself enjoying the attitude of the recent 10 minute clip setting up John Carter on Earth - shared previously here. Although, it concerns me a bit that I may enjoy the Earth part better than the Mars part...and that I may find myself wishing that Carter continued his adventures with that Custer-looking fellow. In any case, I'm hoping it will deliver some Pulp inspired fun even if won't be the John Carter of Mars I might have imagined.
... and Oh, The Woola Clip.
... and Oh, The Woola Clip.
Just for the record I really dislike Woola's Disney make-over. The So-Ugly-He's-Cute-ification is just too obvious and probably the biggest example of how they played it safe with their design choices. Woola's charm was derived from the contradictions in his description - a beast of ferocious, monstrous, and vaguely reptilian appearance but with the playful manner and loyal disposition of beloved dog.

John Carter (of Mars) Latest Preview Images - The Good, The Mediocre, and The Ugly
Whatever - Death Valley, Xena and One Green Martian. Would it kill them to make Mars (and Deja Thoris for that matter) more red? And what's with the blue sky?
Oh, poor Woola, what have they done to you?
A new trailer hits this week. It's a good bet most of these shots are from featured scenes. I keeping hoping to see something - anything - really special from this movie - and "cute" Woola is not it.
