John Carter is a sci-fi–fantasy film based on a series of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs (the creator of Tarzan). It’s about a Confederate soldier who is sent to Mars, which turns out to be inhabited. The full-length trailer is intriguing, but the clip that appeared during the game made it seem like Disney had made another Star Wars/Braveheart/Matrix/Avatar rip-off. Also noteworthy was the lack of Andrew Stanton’s name — this is the Pixar director’s (WALL•E, Finding Nemo) first live-action film.
