SUUUUUUUUUUURE by blondeman	Apr 1st, 2004 03:21:15 AM
I see movie companies really wanting to give Harry a 100M dollar movie....his track record is awesome......um he had a cameo in that horrible Robert Rodiguez movie...and he um went on Ebert's how and made an ass of himself. Sure, I see them giving him this project. Happy April First AICN.

Good luck and enjoy Harry! by brokentusk	Apr 1st, 2004 05:21:43 AM
You're the fan that got to be a producer! It's awesome that one of us geeks has a voice in the construction of a huge film! Just don't let Rodriguez shoot the thing in three days, score the it himself, edit it so it ends up being 90 minutes long, and make it as cheap as possible - this must be handled right! Good luck!

Maybe I'm just prejudiced by all of the rubes the commercials. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt though; I've never heard anyone on AICN say, "Instant Messaging is like having a verbal chat, electronically."

Harry, if you are indeed a part of the "Princess of Mars" producing team, I feel giddy with excitement because I know you will speak for the sensibilities of our generation. To me, it is a promise that the movie will not be watered down and PG`ed to death. If it is April Fool's Day, I will still be content with the hope that "Princess of Mars" the movie will be the living representation of the Frazetta paintings and Edgar Rice Burroughs` great stories. I will not be content until Harry is running Hollywood!

John Carter: A Princess of Mars sounds like a sci-fi drag queen by Drath	Apr 1st, 2004 10:55:46 AM
I don't know if that's part of the April Fool's Joke or what, but I hope the actual title phrases it differently. It'll probably be some really long moniker like "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," or "Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl." Actually, compared to those, "John Carter of Mars: A Princess of Mars" doesn't sound so long.

Harry's assertion that this needs to look and feel like The Searchers [a while back] is exactly the kind of guidance someone like RR needs. If only Rodriguez had talent comparable to his passion. DON'T DO A SOUNDSTAGE MOVIE! JORDAN! THE SUDAN! TUNISIA! ANYWHERE!@!

Dolph..... by KryptonsLastSon	Apr 1st, 2004 03:11:08 PM
Harry listed "Song of the South" as his favorite animated film and one he'd like to see released on video... or something to that effect the memory gets hazy. I think they were doing some sort of most wanted lists for home video, when Ebert had rotating guests as reviewer's right after Siskels death. It looked like someone had just crapped in Ebert's cereal to hear that nice racist little Uncle Tom cartoon brought up as being worthy of re-release by Disney. Hence Harry ain't getting back on. That was also the first time I ever saw the actual Harry, and I realized his cartoons don't do him justice....

Congratulations?! by Babba-Booey	Apr 1st, 2004 03:41:24 PM
Congratuations to H'wood's red-headed stepchild. He's got a job that every fuckin' fanboy in the USA would give his virgin nuts to have. However, now that he's fully crossed over to the system, his ass has just become free game. Harry, you've got a target on your head just like the former hairdresser now. Your flicks better be good, or the net's gonna leave you in pink mist.
What's the real joke here.... by RobinP	Apr 1st, 2004 04:32:14 PM
Is it 1) Harry as a first time producer (Ghost Town doesn't count as it's not even made yet) handling a huge A-list movie like "John Carter" ? Is it 2) That they're updating the server (like yeah...THAT'll happen)Or is it 3) The talkbacker who called "Song of the South" racist ? (SOTS was available in the UK for years, even after Disney disowned it despite the film being the template for one of the best loved rides at Walt Disney World. For those who don't know, or don't remember - the animated stories of Bre'r Rabbit are told by a kindly old man who happens to be of African origin. His tales are morality fables that he uses to teach a young white kid. It's as harmless and inoccuous as that. Of course it could be that 4) The joke's on me - I woke up in Bizarro World.
TWO WORDS FOR HARRY - GASTRIC BYPASS by SK909	Apr 1st, 2004 04:45:30 PM
Hey big guy, when the money starts rolling in with all those back-end and front-end deals, you should take it and do something about your own back-end... and front-end. Every end. Seriously, this surgery works for morbidly obese peole like urself, so when that dough starts rolling in and you're a regular with heidi fleiss's old stable, you wanna look good, doncha? Sometimes, if you look decent and are nice, they'll let you kiss them, so I'd get down to the doctor for a pre-operative exam. Seriously... gastric bypass. Obviously you haven't tried Atkins or it didn't work. Last resort, fella...

IT'S NOT A JOKE by CaptainMandrake	Apr 1st, 2004 05:18:46 PM
I don't think this is a joke, re-read the original AICN story about Princess of Mars, Moriarty mentions something about "another producing partner on the film that should be announced soon that is apparently in top secret negotiations, someone who has been close to this project for a while now". This has to be Harry, this is no joke.

Princess of Mars Rocks by 900LBGorilla	Apr 1st, 2004 07:44:19 PM
April 1st...This news heh heh. Anyways done right, A Princess of Mars will kick ass - done wrong it will suck all kinds of ass. My biggest concern at this point is Rodriguez himself- all CG and goofy cut and past style action- he deos not seem at all a good fit here. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong. This book has waited just shy of a century to be put to screen- and it deserves to be done what no other Burroughs adaptation has gotten- a screen version that does the book JUSTICE (Shit the closest we have this feat being accomplished is Disney's Tarzan- how fucking sad is THAT?)

Harry is gonna get raped! by Bang!_Your_Dead	Apr 1st, 2004 08:11:52 PM
Even if this is true, no matter how good this movie turns out to be. We all know it'll never be good enough for the AICN crowd. But I have always wanted to see popular critics make movies themselves so they too realize that its not that easy....either way, after the movie comes out, I hope Harry never reads the talk backs about it.
I Might Just Have To Stop Visiting AICN by CHEWBLACCA	Apr 1st, 2004 08:44:31 PM
Harry is no longer an outsider. He's in, and therefore can't be trusted. Sure, others may spew the truth. But how can Harry tell all without pissing off his new Hollywood buddies. Sin City is a perfect example. Harry knows everything but can't us.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE, REALLY by clark_kent	Apr 1st, 2004 08:47:04 PM
I saw Sean Daniel at the Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony forJohn Belushi today and he confirmed that Harry is a producer and that they are doing this movie.
Cast away by DyslexicHeart	Apr 1st, 2004 08:53:12 PM
Robert may be building one the most incredible and exciting ensemble casts ever with "Sin City" but it's the possibilities for Mars that has my mouth watering. I wouldn't be surprised if the studio had a wish-list that included The Rock and Jessica Alba as Carter and the Princess.

Congrat's Harry. Something like this was only a matter of time after all the press and attention you got. I have no problem with anyone using any means to break into this business. Because no matter how you got in, if you don't have the talent and disposition to pull it off, you won't stay for too long. Cheers on your success!
You don't deserve it Knowles.. by horseloverfat723	Apr 2nd, 2004 01:20:02 AM
You know, a few years back i would've congradulated you and wished you luck, but with the shit you've been spewing out lately in your reviews, take a hike Knowles. You are an industry pawn right now, in my book. However, your website is a great outlet for film fans and a great film news site, so I respect you a great deal for that. But as far as you personally, PFFFHHH..

PJ's fansite??? by Man w No Name	Apr 2nd, 2004 02:38:29 AM
Next up Harry plugs the Quentin fansite run by... none other than Harry. It sure as hell makes his review of all the LOTR movies seem 'very' credible. I mean shit...you're running the director's website, are you really going to say something bad about the movie. Not like it matters though, everyone will forget about LOTR in under five yrs. The real classics will rise to the top, and people will understand the best trilogy of all time stars Clint Eastwood. Give me Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly over anything that Hollywood shits out now. Back to the fansite though, when's the last time you heard of a 'journalist' running someone's fansite...someone he's supposed to be critical of?? Conflict of interest perhaps?? That being said, I do think Harry and Peter would make the cutest couple. They both don't shave, both don't ever get haircuts, both seem to have about a 34 C breast size, and they both dress really sloppily. They are so perfect for each other it's not even funny. Harry probably takes numerous trips to the "land down under" each month..and when I say 'land down under', no it's not a place where you need your passport, and no, it's not australia...to get to this land you will first hear the sound of a zipper, later followed by "yeah Harry, that's the spot"

ie. not much. Fucking agents get producer credits just to make cash. He's buddies with the director, probably threw the book at Robert himself. But at most he's just going to show up say "doing a great job" and then fuck off and collect money. I mean, good for him for getting cash for sure. But it ain't cool. Not cool at all.

way to live your dream Harry by werewolfbynight	Apr 2nd, 2004 03:34:37 AM
Almost two years ago I met you at Scarecrow Video in Seattle. On that day you signed your book for me. It was a pleasant day made better by your gregarious personality. I was nervous when i met you and tongue tied. That was my fault. I did listen to you speak. As a result I purchased a copy of Vidoq. To this day it is a gem in my collection. I wanted to thank you for that and more. Your love and passion for film is infectious. It has helped me morph into a more thoughtful film lover. Now when I view a film I am not affraid to exhort and support my opinions. I, too, loved Edgar Rice Burroughs. He was all I read for about three years. I could'nt get enough. What a brilliant imagination. So, congrats on your role as producer of The Princess of Mars. I am confident you have enough savvy and experience and love to pull it off. P.S.: Father geek rocks
Darth Bono by Drath	Apr 2nd, 2004 08:29:40 AM
I know exactly what you mean, that title John Carter: A Princess of Mars sounds like he's a princess. It'd be clearer to say John Carter AND A Princess of Mars or John Carter of Mars Chapter One: A Princess of Mars, or anything but the way Harry says it in this story. Next they should do Tarzan and Jane: Lord of the Apes. Which one is the lord of the apes again?

I remember saying this nearly a year ago; either there would be a parallel universe solution, or a billion-year B.C. solution. And Harry has chosen the second. You can't go wrong if you demand and receive the Martian Passion of Frazetta. Have you written up the scene yet where John Carter wakes up in the nursery? Great cinematic and special events possibilities.

Ebert and Harry's Ass by Funketeer	Apr 3rd, 2004 11:51:11 AM
He didn't get in trouble for bringing up Song of the South on Eberts show. I'm pretty sure that Ebert has gone on record as saying he'd also like Disney to rerelease it. Most people would. What got him in trouble with Ebert was when he posted an "official" list of Oscar contenders that was supposed to have come from the computer of someone involved with the awards. Then when the final 5 nominees in each category were officially announced there were a number of people and films nominated that did no appear on the list. Everyone made a big stink about it an attacked Harry's journalistic credibility as if he had actually developed any because the studios were starting to kiss his ass.

I can just picture the entire audience being totally confused. "Dude, where's his stethoscope?" As long as I'm babbling about casting, I saw Chris Klein (from American Pie 1 and 2) on some talk show the other night. He'd be perfect for the next Superman.
HOLY SHIT HARRY YOU DA MAN! by 900LBGorilla	Apr 3rd, 2004 03:45:49 PM
He ISN'T fucking kidding, The Chicago Sun Times just reported it today as well. I was waiting for "We were just fuckin' with ya on April 2 or 3". Instead 3 days later the Sun Times confirmmed it! - And also confirmed was that the idea came from Harry's book- Congratu-fucking-lations Harry! ------ You da man! I have dreamed of this book being put on film since I was 14- Now Harry, just one piece of advice, don't fuck it up... You don't want to see an Angry Gorilla who weighs almost half a ton...they can cause a lot of damage (We eat those pussy Barsoom apes for lunch). - My guess on the famous art guy - Michael Wheelan (Who actually was much more accurate than Frazetta in his Barsoonm drawings, and who said he'd have done those book covers for free- and would LOVE to do them again- he was sketching versions of these when he was in High School)
Needs More by 900LBGorilla	Apr 3rd, 2004 05:18:32 PM
Speaking of which this project needs more play. This is one of the greatest action books ever written- guess its too old for most here to have ever read it- This will make an awesome movie if its done right.
Worst Prank Ever by Indrid_Cold	Apr 3rd, 2004 11:37:08 PM
What was the point? Harry just fantasy wanking over his own site about stuff that'll never happen? I don't even care actually. What a waste of bandwidth. OMG, I'm just wasting more...
Goofs by 900LBGorilla	Apr 4th, 2004 01:34:18 AM
Don't you goofs have something better to do than tell fat jokes about 2 guys you never met? - Shit, far be it from me to avoid ripping someone, but WTF- why don't you at least find a target that gives you a reason to do the ripping. - The Subject is A Princess of Mars. And Indrid, if you bothered reading 5 fucking lines back you'd notice that The Chicago Sun Times confirmed this report. Paying an iota of attention could have saved you from wasting some of that band width you were so concerned about saving.

This is lost somewhere it doesn't belong on this thread, so I'm reposting it:--- Don't you goofs have something better to do than tell fat jokes about 2 guys you never met? - Shit, far be it from me to avoid ripping someone, but WTF- why don't you at least find a target that gives you a reason to do the ripping. - The Subject is A Princess of Mars. And Indrid, if you bothered reading 5 fucking lines back you'd notice that The Chicago Sun Times confirmed this report. Paying an iota of attention could have saved you from wasting some of that band width you were so concerned about saving.
Bruce Campbell by MrTeeShirt.com	Apr 4th, 2004 03:49:41 PM
I agree! Bruce Campbell HAS to be in this movie! He would kick Shatner's butt in a second!

Harry! by DocPazuzu	Apr 5th, 2004 10:58:58 AM
Thank God you're involved in this project. I'm a huge John Carter fan and having a total Barsoom geek as a producer on this thing is the best movie news I've heard this year so far. I know you'll work hard to do this amazing property justice! Just don't skimp on the skimpily clad women, mmmm'kay?
Congratulations, Harry! FINALLY Hollywood picks someone WHO CARE by WarDog	Apr 5th, 2004 11:44:18 AM
Perhaps Paramount can have this as its new tentpole SF series, since it fucked over _Star Trek_ with the last two movies and _Enterprise_. At least I trust you and your fellow fans-who-care who are on this project will prevent the suits from fucking this up as well. I agree with DyslexicHeart that Jessica Alba would be an excellent choice for Dejah Thoris. She's not only drop-dead gorgeous, she's kinda exotic in her beauty. I hope you'll keep in mind the need for a noticeable exotic aspect in Thoris's beauty. John Carter, on the other hand, would probably be better played by Matthew McConaughey. He's a suave, Southern, handsome, well-built hunk that would draw the femme-fans, plus he knows how to play a manly but sensitive man as Carter needs to be played. Good lucky, Harry! We'll be waiting for more news!
TALK BACKS OUT OF ORDER! by 900LBGorilla	Apr 5th, 2004 05:48:22 PM
Please someone fix these- hard to have conversations like that and this is a great subject
Wardog by 900LBGorilla	Apr 5th, 2004 05:54:38 PM
Dude are you freaking kidding? Matthew McConaughey? He would be AWEFUL. And Jessica Alba would suck too- She's not NEARLY hot enough. The Perfect Actress would have been a younger Sofie Marceau - Dejah Thoris is the "elegant" type beauty not a "dime a dozen I work with hotter chicks than" Jesssica Alba (Who also seems more trailer than regal).
In fact /stupid studio executives. by 900LBGorilla	Apr 5th, 2004 06:09:56 PM
I can't even THINK of a guy who "looks" like John Carter in my mind- hopefully they'll go with an unknown (hmm 100 million dollar movie, hollywood studio... unknown... YEAH RIGHT. Probably end up being Tom Cruise). Actually the closest guy "looks wise" (although he'd have to get jacked up and work the accent) would be Billy Zane... ------ I can already Hear a Paramount Ass-zek though. Can't John Carter be BLONDE? And why does he have to be tall? , and... can't he be a Vietnam Verteran? and Why does he have to be from Virginia- How about Alaska!? (woops the last one was done). - A word to all the dipshit bean counters, executives and wanna be writer-directors: let the people who love (and understand)the property make the movie- if you want to make something that is NOT "A Pricess of Mars" go WRITE SOME THING THAT IS NOT A PRINCESS OF MARS, AND DON"T CALL IT "A PRINCESS OF MARS". I never get these dipshits. its like you have books that sell millions of copies in many cases for decades, and by the time it hits the screen, its like, I don't know what THAT was, bit it was NOT (Name the book). And the movie bonmbs. Its like helloooo- the author is/was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more talented than you mr. exec/pollster/ director I wanna be a writer (see John Mctiernan), THATS why the book/story is so good- so don't clusterfuck it with your moronic and simplistic ideas- cause no one gives a shit what YOU think. The book is popular for a REASON. --- Sorry, did I just say something? What happened? I'm back... just the thought of the probable scerewing of this story gets me going- I don't know how good/bad Harry will be at this producer thing, but at least he should be the right kind of influence.
A Princess of Mars sounds interesting. I look forward to readin by islander	Apr 5th, 2004 09:32:02 PM

One director, one film? What kind of bullshit is that? by FelatioHornblowr	Apr 8th, 2004 02:16:25 PM
I know nothing about the DGA. When did this stupid rule go into effect? And how does it not apply to The Wachowski Brothers? I think Paramount is so hard up for a hit film they should just say screw the DGA and use Rodriguez regardless.
RR is on for POM by B. Lake Austin	Apr 10th, 2004 08:12:55 PM
Harry came to talk at UT today about the site, and POM among otehr things. He said RR is definately doing POM. The IGN source reported in that story is just responding to something the dumbass DGA said about RR. RR is still on for POM which will be shooting in Austin, Texas. Peace.
