We may only be in July 2011 but here at FemaleFirst we are already looking ahead to some of the movies that will be gracing the big screen in 2012.
And one of the movies that is set to hit the silver screen early next year is John Carter, which sees Taylor Kitsch in the title role.
The movie is directed by Academy Award winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton, who is leaving behind Pixar animation to work in live action.
Kitsch leads an all star cast that includes Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Willem Dafoe, James Purefoy and Dominic West.
John Carter” is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present.
The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins).
In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.
John Carter is released 9th March 2012 - take a look at the first full length trailer for the movie:
