Robert Rodriguez to direct JOHN CARTER, WARLORD OF MARS
Robert Rodriguez has signed on to direct a big-screen version of the Edgar Rice Burroughs classic Princess of Mars, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Paramount Pictures will finance and distribute Princess of Mars, which is based on the first novel in Burroughs' 11-novel series, John Carter of Mars.

In John Carter of Mars, Carter is a Civil War officer from Virginia who is transported to Mars, where he finds himself imprisoned by the green men of Thark. Over time, Carter becomes a great warrior, weds the lovely Dejah Thoris and leads a life of adventure.

2. I wonder if the Mars women will still lay eggs?
Man, there are some really untranslatable bits in those books.

3. Never liked the character
the mix of lasers and swords always struck me as silly.Why keep the sword when you just killed someone with a laser? Pick up the damn laser,fool!

Of course that was the comic,maybe the books weren't like that :shrug:
