To arms Tars Tharkas! We must defend Barsoom!

Now here's something I can sink my teeth into. ERB doomed me to a life of gamer geekhood with his wonderful tales. After Narnia & LOTR these stories are among my fondest memories. No cast yet, but it's sure to be a good movie as Burroughs estate has been historically very reserved about licensing his stories.

JOHN CARTER OF MARS FACTS
John Carter, an American Civil War vet, stumbles into a time portal while hiding from Apache Indians and winds up on a planet called Barsoom. Carter thinks the planet is Mars, and he's taken prisoner by the proverbial little green men. Only the green men aren't that little — they're 12 feet tall.
