New John Carter Poster - Early 70's Sci-Fi Book Cover Art?


I'm a bit torn - because visually I kind of  like this poster. I'm really tired of the overly enhanced, generally dirt-splattered, extreme photo-portraits that dominate action and fantasy film posters - so it's nice to see any poster attempt to break away. The composition is really weak, but it does have that bold, graphic, more abstract look of the late 60's early 70's Sci-Fi book covers I grew up with - so it gets nostalgia points. But that's also a big part of  the reason this poster goes so wrong. Burroughs' Mars Series was high Fantasy Pulp - not heavy socially relevant Modern Science Fiction. And although It's pretty clear from images and interviews the filmmakers have taken no visual cues from either publishing era, the poster also does not represent the style of the film as seen in trailers and photos so far - really,  I wish the Martian landscape looked this red in the trailers. So conceptually this poster fails in actually selling the movie it's for...unless they were going for Martian Spaghetti Western... in which case it might not be too far off.

John Carter (of Mars) Latest Preview Images - The Good, The Mediocre, and The Ugly

OK - The airships continue to look pretty cool, and this canoe shot shows a glimmer of an alien landscape.

Whatever - Death Valley, Xena and One Green Martian. Would it kill them to make Mars (and Deja Thoris for that matter) more red? And what's with the blue sky?

Oh, poor Woola, what have they done to you?

A new trailer hits this week. It's a good bet most of these shots are from featured scenes. I keeping hoping to see something - anything - really special from this movie - and "cute" Woola is not it.
