The first full trailer for Disney’s John Carter, adapting Edgar Rice burrough’s classic pulp hero, is here and it does a pretty good job of filling the unfamiliar in on the story and hinting at an epic scope for the film. There’s also a good mix of new images and things we’ve seen before either in the previously released teaser trailer or recently revealed pictures. Some of the things you’ll glimpse here may seem a bit familiar, but that’s only because filmmakers have been filching from the John Carter Of Mars books for decades now. Hopefully director Andrew Stanton will show them all how the original is done.
