What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel "A Princess of Mars" (1911).
  • In early 1931, Robert Clampett – the creator of Porky Pig and many Looney Tunes cartoons – proposed to Edgar Burroughs to adapt "John Carter of Mars" into the first full-length animated feature film in history. Burroughs accepted the offer.
  • Clampett and Burroughs enthusiastically immersed themselves in pre-production of the film, creating sketches, miniature sculptures of the characters, drafting the screenplay, and even making black-and-white test footage intended to demonstrate their vision for the book's adaptation. Burroughs and Clampett envisioned the future film as serious science fiction. However, MGM Studios saw the film in a completely different light – as a light comedy with a mischievous hero. This clash of visions led to the project being shelved after a year.
  • In the late 1950s, Ray Harryhausen expressed interest in directing the film.
  • In the 1970s, before 'Star Wars,' George Lucas was interested in directing the film.
  • The project was seriously revisited only in the 1980s, when Disney decided to make a live-action film riding the wave of success of 'Star Wars' and 'Conan.' Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio were tasked with writing the screenplay. Mario Kassar and Andrew J. Vajna were to produce the film through their Carolco studio. John McTiernan was offered the directing job, and Tom Cruise was planned for the lead role. However, the project’s significant production scale and the limitations of special effects at the time prevented it from moving forward.
  • In the 1990s, Jeffrey Katzenberg expressed interest in the project, but it didn't progress beyond discussion.
  • "John Carter of Mars" resurfaced on the cinematic horizon in the 2000s, when the colossal success of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" prompted many studios to revive old projects in the fantasy genre.
  • Having convinced Paramount Pictures to buy back the rights to the adaptation, James Jacks and Sean Daniel hired Mark Protosevich to write the screenplay.
  • In 2003, Robert Rodriguez joined their team, agreeing to direct the film and, along with his wife Elizabeth Avellan, to serve as one of the producers. According to Rodriguez, he planned to begin filming in early 2005 with a possible title of "Princess of Mars" or "John Carter of Mars." Robert wanted to film using the same technology as "Sin City" (2005) – digital cameras against a blue screen.
  • In 2004, a scandal erupted during the filming of "Sin City" (2005) when Robert Rodriguez decided to withdraw from membership in the "Directors Guild of America." After Robert left the guild, Paramount had no choice but to remove him from directorial duties, which they did in May 2004.
  • After Rodriguez's departure, the studio hired Kerry Conran as director, who had recently filmed "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" (2004) using similar technology to "Sin City" (2005).
  • Kerry Conran brought in Ehren Kruger to work on a new version of the script. Kerry and Ehren planned to modernize the story, making the plot more contemporary.
  • Throughout 2005, pre-production of the film was actively underway: concept art was created, and locations were scouted, with most of the filming planned to take place in Australia.
  • However, in September 2005, Kerry Conran left the project, and on October 5, 2005, it was announced that Jon Favreau would direct the film.
  • Jon Favreau stated: 1) To remain faithful to the spirit of the book. 2) Despite the abundance of planned CGI effects, to use optical effects, shoot on location and on sets, thereby moving away from the idea of filming the entire movie against a blue screen. 3) To build the film's plot in a completely different vein, focusing first on the character and only then on the adventures. Favreau cited “Planet of the Apes” (1968) as an example, telling the story of a character’s personal journey in an unusual world, learning about the culture and society of another civilization, ultimately understanding them and beginning to interact with them. He planned to apply the same approach to the adaptation of “John Carter of Mars.” 4) To use mechanical effects alongside CGI effects extensively. 5) To move the action from the twenty-first century back to the time of the Civil War. 6) To adhere to the book regarding the creation of the image of the three/four-meter-tall Martians (previously it was assumed that the Martians would be the same height as Earthlings).
  • To bring his vision for the film to a full script, Favreau brought in Mark Fergus.
  • In April 2006, Mark Fergus completed the script, and Jon Favreau created a blog on MySpace specifically dedicated to the future film. It was under Favreau's leadership that the project came closest to finally being realized on the big screen.
  • However, at the same time, Paramount was actively developing another high-budget science fiction project – a reboot of “Star Trek.” Ultimately, the studio favored J.J. Abrams’ film, once again shelving “John Carter of Mars.” Despite the project's cancellation, Jon Favreau and Paramount remained on good terms: Favreau was entrusted with directing “Iron Man” (2008), for which Mark Fergus was one of the screenwriters.
  • In 2006, Paramount decided not to renew its rights to adapt the book, which were reacquired by Disney in 2007.
  • In 2006, rumors circulated that Robert Zemeckis might direct the film, using the technology he employed in “Beowulf” (2007) and “The Polar Express” (2004).
  • After Disney announced that Pixar would produce the film, rumors immediately spread that the adaptation of the book would be realized as computer animation.
  • In August 2007, Disney registered several domains: johncarterofmarsthemovie.
  • In October 2007, it was officially announced that Andrew Stanton would direct the film, and if it was commercially successful, the studio intended to make a trilogy.
  • In March 2008, Andrew Stanton completed the first draft of the screenplay.
  • The film's premiere was scheduled for 2012, exactly one hundred years after the first story from Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian cycle, “Under Martian Moons,” was first published in the magazine “All-Story” (February 1912); and eighty years after plans to adapt the book were announced.
  • The film crew had to work in challenging climatic conditions – in Hanksville, the temperature rose to almost +50°C. During filming in the desert, the cast and crew consumed over 1360 liters of water daily.
  • The film is dedicated to the memory of Steve Jobs.
  • During the battle scene in the arena, the protagonist John Carter could have easily freed himself from his shackles, as the ring embedded in the stone to which John was chained was not closed.
  • Serious talk about the project resumed only in the 1980s, when Disney decided to make a live-action film on the wave of success of “Star Wars” and “Conan.” Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio were tasked with writing the script. Mario Kassar and Andrew J. Vajna were supposed to produce the film on their Carolco studio. John McTiernan was offered to direct the film, and Tom Cruise was planned to be cast in the lead role.
