God bless the internetz.. here’s some production stills from the John Carter knockoff movie coming up from “The Asylum”, the film studio that brought us Mega-Shark versus the Giant Squid.
Tharks:
Only two arms, not very greenish, and the eyes and jaws are far too humanoid:
John Carter,as portrayed by Antonio Sabato?? An actor who has done a lot of TV work. Brooding, hunky and pouty. Nice tatoo, there, dude.. you’re supposed to hail from the Virginia of the American Civil War. Maybe this John Carter was a sailor.
And of course, the much-discussed.. Dejah Thoris, as portrayed by 80s porn actress, Traci Lords:
Well, he looks kinda like a red martian here..
Based on the rather modern arabic headress and jacket on JC here, I predict they are going to do something profoundly stupid and have Carter hail from our modern time, perhaps as a troubled Iraqi war veteran who stumbles on the way to Barsoom. Anyone want to place a bet on it?
Here we have the three major characters doing a size comparison.. yes, they skimped on Tharks big time.
And we leave you with a full length body shot of our sexy and determined heroine…
What can I say? It’s impossible to find words sometimes. In this case a few pictures are worth a thousand of ’em.
[…] erm, might recall a post I put up a while back about a certain studio’s attempt to rip off the Walt Disney studio’s marketing momentum […]
