The Origins of John Carter DVD Featurette Taster + Cool Alternate Opening Deleted Scene

With today’s release of John Carter on DVD I thought I’d share with you a little video featurette regarding the origins of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ infamour creation and a deleted scene which shows an alternative opening – check it out!

To say John Carter receive mixed reviews is something of an understatement. A lot of people were disappointed with the movie and the box office takings proved it. With an initial outlay of some $250 million to fund the movie, Disney only received a mere $179 million in return which has lead some to believe that the studio will not look to shook any sequel’s despite the open ending of the film.

Me? I fucking loved it. It had it all and I loved every second of it. I guess it just goes to show, you shouldn’t always listen to the critics and I’ll certainly be picking up the DVD today.
