VIDEO VIEW: John Carter ''Heritage'' Fan Trailer

It's nice to see Disney's marketing for the upcoming John Carter movie finally acknowledging its literary roots (although I'm sure that was fought against by a number of corporate types because - as we all know - books are for nerds) but here's a fan-made video that takes it one stage further to deliver a trailer that not only informs the viewer of John Carter's history but also seems more in-keeping with the pace and tone of the movie itself.

John Carter opens this Friday.

Thanks to ComicBookMovie.com for the spot.

VIDEO VIEW: John Carter ''Critics'' TV Spot

Here's the latest ''Critics'' TV Spot, featuring a series of quotes from the very positive reviews John Carter has been receiving. Hopefully this positive press will help turn-around the negativity surrounding the movie ahead of its release this Friday.

VIDEO VIEW: John Carter Audience Reactions

A few lucky cinema goers got to see an early preview screening of Disney-Pixar's John Carter on Monday night and Barsoomian fan-site The John Carter Files caught-up with them afterward to ask what they thought of the movie. But before you click play, be warned that there is a spoiler at around the 0:45 mark.

Surprisingly - given the early testing scores - John Carter received a very positive reception, including from  women viewers, a demographic that had previously ''flat-out rejected the film'' based on the early promotional campaign.

Here's hoping positive reviews and word-of-mouth can overcome Disney's weak advertising.

John Carter opens on March 9th.

Thanks to ComicBookMovie.com for the tip.

It's sad to see the trailer still missing the mark so widely, especially when the fan-made trailer we brought you yesterday does so good a job conveying the movie's tone and premise.

John Carter opens in theatres next Friday (March 9th.)

John Carter - a movie so bland and so utterly forgettable that nobody in their right mind even knows what it is - let alone wants to see it. Right?

Well, maybe this fan-made - and  director-approved - trailer will change your mind...

NEWS: John Carter Movie Poster

I'm saddened to see they've dropped the ''Of Mars'' suffix (a hangover of which appears in the Barsoomian text-inspired logo at the right) but there you go... It's also odd - given how much nudity and savage violence feature in the novels - to see the family-friendly Disney logo on the poster...

NEWS: Marvel To Adapt John Carter of Mars

The Great-Granddaddy of science-fantasy, A Princess of Mars is set to get the Marvel treatment later this year.

Working with the estate of Edgar Rice Borroughs, Marvel plans to bring the adventures of the former Confederate soldier-turned-fantasy hero to a new audience with their comicbook adaptations of the seminal novel. Interestingly, the comicbooks are being described as ''canon'' to the John Carter series, which implies there may be some changes or even new adventures in this new medium.

A Princess of Mars - the first of the John Carter of Mars series - was originally published in 1912 and tells the tale of John Carter, a former soldier and prospector who finds himself transported to the planet Mars, a world of warlike races and strange technologies. The book is a prime example of pulp sci-fi, yet despite its humble origins its impact and influence are still felt to this day.

John Carter: A Princess of Mars Issue #1 (of 5) goes on sale in September. Until then you can read more at Marvel.com.
