The Peculiar Miracle Of YouTube Shows Us A JOHN CARTER Project That Might Have Been!!


Merrick here...


This isn't exactly "news", but it's an intriguing piece of alternate history Geeks like me tend to get off on...so I thought I'd share it.

You may have heard by now that Pixar is working on an adaptation of Burrough's MARS books (JOHN CARTER OF MARS, PRINCESS OF MARS, WARLORDS OF MARS, etc.)

Some material has recently hit YouTube showing regarding a previous run at the project - from way back in the 1930s.

The project was being advanced by animator-god Bob Clampett, but ultimately fell apart due to differences with the studio.


You can find a few more details about what might've been HERE!
