Hope that's a rough cut because it looks terrible ....

God I hate when they mix live action with CGI. It rarely looks acceptable.

Hah, even without Rich's spot-on thread title, I would have thought "this looks like outtakes from the SW prequels." Even the music sounds like "Kashmir" was written by John Williams, not Zep.

It will get bad reviews, everyone will complain about the awful 3D, it will make a killing at the box office and there will be even worse sequels. :D

I'm trying to give this idea the benefit of the doubt because I don't see how a veteran Pixar visionary (Andrew Stanton, primary creator of Nemo/Wall-E) could botch anything. Those aliens look AWFUL, though, and the more footage I see the more it appears to be a dud. :|

Reminds me a lot of Avatar too (but worse CGI of course)

Well, one good thing about watching that shit-biscuit of a trailer is that it's inadvertently given me an excuse to mention a hero of mine, Bob Clampett!

From the IMDB page:
John Carter...probably holds the record for having the longest period of "development hell" for any movie, at 79 years. The film entered development hell when preproduction first started for it in 1931, when Robert Clampett (director of 'Looney Tunes') approached Edgar Rice Burroughs, the author of 'John Carter', to make an animated feature out of the first book in the series (which is what this film is also an adaptation of). Had plans gone through, 'John Carter' would have become the first animated feature the world had seen, beating Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Clampett, along with Carl Stalling are the men perhaps most responsible for developing and defining the signature Loony Tunes style, but regardless of who Bob was working for, his most significant achievement, as far as I'm concerned, is the following bit of hyperbole --- Any time you see his name in the credits of a cartoon you know your going to get something funnier, more inventive and more gloriously violent than ANYBODY's animations before him and, honestly, it wasn't until John Kricfalusi got himself famous that anybody matched him. Damn straight.

Look him up!
