Vajna obtained the film rights to A Princess of Mars for Walt Disney Studios. The footage was presumed lost until Burroughs' grandson, Danton Burroughs, found it in the 1970s. But film exhibitors hated the test footage, believing the concept was too out there for mainstream audiences. John Carter's journey to the big screen was a long one, but here's the quick gist: In 1931, Looney Tunes director Bob Clampett pitched an animated film version of A Princess of Mars to a very interested Burroughs. Simply put, there's no Star Wars without A Princess of Mars. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, James Cameron, and George Lucas. The book was a favorite of famed astronomer Carl Sagan, and directly inspired sci-fi legends like Arthur C.
It's the story of a Virginia cavalryman from the Civil War, John Carter, who is transported to Mars, or "Barsoom," where he gets caught up in war and romance on the red planet.Ī Princess of Mars is credited with influencing practically all of 20th-century fantasy and science-fiction.

The movie is an adaptation of a hundred-year-old science-fiction novel, Edgar Rice Burrough's A Princess of Mars. To answer a question posed by one of my co-workers this morning: No, John Carter has nothing to do with John Wick. It will find a permanent home on Disney+ on May 2, but with the film's exit on Netflix is the perfect time to revisit a legitimately amazing action-adventure movie that was simply dealt all the wrong hands - especially if you don't have a Disney+ subscription. On May 1, John Carter from director Andrew Stanton will leave Netflix. In a 2015 retrospective piece, Forbeswriter Scott Mendelson described the movie as "a cautionary tale about what can go wrong when trying to craft the next great worldwide smash hit." This movie didn't just lose Disney money, it also caused the exit of the studio's chairman just three years after they took the job. The same year Disney found a goldmine in Marvel's The Avengers, the studio suffered one of its biggest failures.
