John Carter is hardly comparable to a product like Star Wars. I'm pretty sure Disney will bring their A-team for this one.


Do you consider Andrew Stanton, who directed WALL-E and Finding Nemo, not "A-Team"?

His John Carter bombed so badly it cost a lot of people their jobs....think about it before you start believing Disney has some magic touch in today's realm.

What they have going for them is Episodes 1,2,3 are so fricking bad, what they produce will have to be an improvement.

Marvel is owned by Disney now...and they've done a pretty damn good job.

As long as they learn some lessons from Marvel they will be fine.

Hire an up and coming director (or directors) that has a firm grasp on what needs to happen and a clear vision for the trilogy, someone respected and established but still has energy, and get it done.

For live action? No, I don't. The dude had never done a live action movie before and it showed.

Andrew Stanton wasn't the problem with John Carter. Disney's bad advertising campaign was the problem. Sure they plastered the movie all over the place but no one had any idea of what the content of the movie would be like. I have to say what I saw in theaters was far different and much better than what I saw advertised. They really should have marketing it heavily as the "first" sci-fi story. Watching the movie you could see where most of the major sci fi stories of the last few decades were influence by it.

Just curious, did you actually see the movie?

Unless they go full Jar Jar. Which, being Disney, is a distinct possibility.
