A few fun facts about "John Carter" Did you know?
The movie “John Carter” is based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ first novel, “A Princess of Mars.” You probably don't recognize that book, but you may know the novel “Tarzan”which Burroughs was also the author of.
The making of a movie based on "A Princess of Mars" has been attempted since 1935, and was was going to be an animated feature film by Bob Clampett of “Beany and Cecil” fame. Ifi it had been successfully crated it would have beaten Dissney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” which premiered in 1937, as America’s first full-length animated film.
Director/Writer Andrew Stanton, a fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “Barsoom” series of books since childhood, says he was inspired to bring “John Carter” to the big screen, in his first attempt at live action because he had always been attracted to the concept of a human finding himself on Mars, among the creatures of a strange new world.
“John Carter” screenwriters Andrew Stanton, Mark Andrews and Michael Chabon still possessed the John Carter drawings and artwork that they had done when they were boys, when they first met.
In 2010, while working on location in Utah, crew workers found a large bone protruding from the ground. The Bureau of Land Management confirmed it was in fact a Sauropod bone, either a femur or scapula, from a dinosaur that could have been 60ft long. An excavation is currently taking place to retrieve the rest of the prehistoric skeleton discovered by the “John Carter” crew.
