Let us begin . . .

HYPE!

From Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes "John Carter"--a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). "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.

I just counted his chin hairs

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Even on my gigantic monitor that is the biggest image I have ever seen on the internet.

 

[FoneBone]

a. that's a terrible poster
b. SHRINK THE DAMN IMAGE BEFORE YOU POST

 

[JCreasy]

Sorry fixed.

 

[TheOddOne]

Terrible hype poster.

 

[Solo]

Crappy teaser.

 

[Veidt]

Horrible poster.
Should have been 80's style.

 

[Shabadoo69]

I guess i know what i'm doing for my birthday next year.

 

[Tucah]

Shitty poster.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Are there going to be seven of these?

I just want to see Riggins say "Seven" again.

 

[Vinci]

Yeah, that doesn't make me want to see the movie at all.

 

[Guevara]

That is a terrible poster. Looks like a teaser for some USA Networks original programming.

 

[jett]

That is terribad. What's with Hollywood and shitty posters lately.

 

[i_am_ben]

Have my babies Tim Riggins <3

 

[G-Fex]

That is terribad. What's with Hollywood and shitty posters lately.

I think it's all about getting upclose shots of actors faces instead of you know....anything creative or unique

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

What's a John Carter?

 

[Degen]

What's a John Carter?

I don't know and this bad WWE promo isn't helping

 

[Count Dookkake]

Disgraceful.

Should be a painting.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

What an awful poster. Not quite crotch-face bad, but really bad.

 

[besada]

Should be a Frazetta painting.

Fixed.

 

[RustyNails]

Poster makes me even less interested in the movie.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Just make a poster in the style of Frazetta ffs.

 

[bengraven]

If you're going to add a big "M" you better put Mars in the title.

Seriously, no one is going to see a big budget movie with just JC's name. Mars Needs Moms is months in the past and no one remembers that movie, you can use Mars again folks.

Fixed.

The official one will be. It has to be.

 

[gdt]

Well, I like the font. And the fact that Tim Riggins is on a movie poster.

 

[Dan]

That poster does nothing.

And change the damn title back. Do this right, Disney. Mars Needs Moms tanked so hard no one will remember it by the end of the year.

 

[WillyFive]

Terrible poster, generic looking main actor, and atrocious name.

Fix this Andrew Stanton.

 

[Blader]

What's a John Carter?

I think it's a Denzel Washington movie.

 

[sparky2112]

I like the lettering, but the poster doesn't work.

 

[GCX]

It seems like all the good Pixar directors are moving to live action.

 

[Ad Infinitum]

I don't understand why Disney feel the need to put their names on 'grown up' films they produce. It's not going to help.

 

[wenis]

That Riggin's boy is doing good for himself.

 

[G-Fex]

I don't understand why Disney feel the need to put their names on 'grown up' films they produce. It's not going to help.

exactly, guess they want to be hip/gritty grown up after pirates

Because it's not going to be a gritty "grown up" film, but a PG-13 action film to sell toys. Disney is pretty desperate for a new IP similar to Pirates, hence them producing Prince of Persia and Tron.

yeah howd that work out for them by the way?

They can do that without putting the logo on everything and scaring off 13-23yr old males. They did this with Pirates 1 and look how well that turned out.

 

[R2D4]

The poster makes it look like it's going to be on the CW.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

yeah howd that work out for them by the way?

Tron was moderately successful but Prince of Persia less so.

 

[chuckddd]

*poof*

Hype -50

 

[AbsoluteZero]

*poof*

Hype -50

I dunno man, the name "Andrew Stanton" alone gives me everlasting hype.

 

[Dead]

Since this is a Disney flick, I want to know how they'll dress Dejah Thoris

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Yes, this poster reveals quite a lot about the film, while also establishing all of the recognizable movie stars that would pull me in to see it regardless.

 

[besada]

Since this is a Disney flick, I want to know how they'll dress Dejah Thoris

Sadly, it was a fait accompli that we were never going to get to see Dejah Thoris in all her natural splendor. Even non-Disney companies aren't likely to have a female actress spend the entire movie topless.

 

[olbareun]

I mis-read title as John Connor

 

[overcast]

Poster failed to hype me.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Which reminds me, it has been too long since I last viewed Lifeforce.

 

[TheKaeptain]

You know those posters of random movies that are near the emergency exits at the cinema? This looks like one. Horrible, wish posters would go back to being creative. It would also help if it was a badass painting.

 

[Anticitizen One]

That poster sucks. I hate Disney's marketing department so much. This movie is a sci-fi fantasy it should look more like the posters for Star Wars and Flash Gordon not a teaser for some modern gritty reboot.

 

[Mazer Rackham]

not feelin' it
