Pixar’s John Carter of Mars with Stanton starting soon?

The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that Utah will serve as the face of Mars in the upcoming adaptation of John Carter of Mars series.  The Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation is being handled by Finding Nemo and Wall-e’s Andrew Stanton and he is apparently extremely passionate and excited about the picture.

We won’t get to see this till 2011 at the earliest, but it looks like this might be out before Brad Bird’s live action project, 1906, at Pixar, making it the studios first potential live action release.

    Please,please,please do justice to this movie. It was the Frazetta illustrations that hooked me to these tales some 40 years ago. I have waited a long time and I know therer are ERB fans out there that waited even longer.
