    Please tell me Shia LeBeuf is not in very much of the movie (like maybe 5 minute bookends or less).
    Fan Trailer looks decent, though some of the text is gone before I can read it.

    Shia LeBeuf isn't in the movie at all!! =D=
    That's someone named Daryl Sabara playing Edgar Rice Burroughs in a really great subplot!
    Isn't that a relief?
    Now go see the movie [face_peace]

    I liked it. A lot of it was silly and deviated from the books, but the tharks were a lot of fun. When I grow up, I want to be a thark.

    I liked it just fine. Wish I’d seen it in a movie theater.

    Did Disney purposely abandon John Carter before it was released? Was the deal with LucasFilm already in the works?

    I liked it too. Just silly adventurous fun. A bit derivative of SW, but only because it came out decades after SW came out, which was influenced by the books.

    Weakest link was the main actor.

    I believe it abandoned it when it bombed.

    The marketing was horrible, I didn't even know it was Burroughs when it came out, but saw it later and loved it.

    I forget the main actor’s name. I thought he was good in the movie. He had a year or two when he was in a lot of movies. Like he was getting the push to be a big star. Sort of what Chris Pratt became. But then he became more of a character actor.


    I think the movie might have been abandoned before that. Like the PR push leading up to the movie and other promotions were scaled back before release. Some of the 20th Century Fox movies Disney acquired were similarly dumped.

    If they held test screenings and concluded it wasn't going to be a very successful movie at the box-office, then they may have also concluded there was no point in throwing away even more money in P&A

    Before production wrapped, Disney started talks with Lucasfilm. By the time the movie premiered, it was clear where Disney was going to put their money. Not in this.
