The Disney adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ series of novels, John Carter of Mars , and hopeful trilogy of films said to be comparable in scale to Pirates of the Caribbean , has finally entered production. I say finally not because of scheduling issues but because this property has been close to development for several decades but no one could make it happen till now. Thank you, Disney. If you think about it, John Carter first appeared in “A Princess of Mars” back in 1912 – nearly a full century ago. With the big budget adventure/fantasy set to be a mix of CGI and live-action epic proportions, the recent success and acceptance of Avatar can help make this popular.
