The Gods of Mars was the first book I ever read and it turned me into an instant sci-fi addict. William Defoe is one of the few actors who could show the nobility that the Tars Tarkus had. I really don't know much about the other actors. I just hope all of them are extremely good. The Mars series is what started the entire wave of sci-fi adventure novels that are still being written today. If it's swashbuckling and it's sci-fi then its roots go back to ERB's Mars series. This is a BIG EVENT. Please don't blow it by making a sub-par movie. Take Care Have Fun B.L.Morgan The Creator of The John Dark Books. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

It sounds like they will do it justice. Ironic that since it was originally going to be the very first animated disney flick before 'snow white' , that the deal is with disney/pixar! I hope they do give a nod to Frazetta's iconic artwork though, particularly in the landscapes and especially with Dafoe's character, my life-long favorite sci-fi character, Tars-tarkas. Great casting so far!Already planning the party! I have hoped to see this brought to the big screen for a long time. It sounds like they will do it justice.

It looks like the movie is going in the right direction so far. Hope it continues. Can't wait to see it. The books were great. It looks like the movie is going in the right direction so far.

Any other actor would have been ridiculous in that part, but Dafoe is always excellent. Antichrist is unpleasant though.

If there's anyone I trust to bring me really good movies, it's Stanton (okay, so he's only done 2 movies so far, but still, they're damn good). Seems like it’s going to be a bloody good movie.
