Over 4 Minutes of John Carter Appears Online

This past weekend, while waiting for Ghost Rider to start, Ian Kerner and I saw the new trailer for John Carter. We both had the same thing to say: “Well, I guess I’m gonna see it.”

Why is no one excited for this movie? Why is it tracking so poorly? Why are there rumors that it’s estimated $250 million budget might be the greatest write off in the history of Hollywood? Why does the entire marketing campaign leave us all so… apathetic?

And most confusingly, why are NONE of the ads stating “From the creator of Tarzan”!?!

Well, four minutes new minutes of footage, including a lot of the arena scene, have been released online, and they definitely help to get me a bit more excited about the movie, releasing in the States in just two weeks on March 8th. Now, I guess, Ian and I can both say “we’re definitely seeing this movie”. Besides, we did see (and enjoyed) Ghost Rider.

What do you guys think?
