That doesn't look that good at all. All I think is "Jack Sparrow in an Indian costume"....

It looks rather like 'Kabuki actor being attacked by Raven'. Which is probably a Tai Chi position, thinking about it.

You beat me to it! *laugh* I was just reading about this story. The film cost around $250 million to make and has had around $100 million spent on marketing it. Seriously, what the [LIFTED] was Disney thinking?!? None of the John Carter adaptations haver ever done that well, why would Disney think it could turn this around? Okay, so the director did a couple of big, well loved and well regarded animations, but Disney should've known that spending in excess of $350 million on one film with a patchy celluloid history was never going to be a good idea. It's all a bit of a puzzle to me, frankly. Mark

Great, so now Hollywood will use this as an excuse to bash out more remakes and sequels.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

You'd think they'd have at least done a Cameron - get two studios to split the costs. Something that isn't mentioned of course is that films often eventually make their money back through licencing and disc sales, even when it's got a ridiculous budget like Waterworld, for instance. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Let's not forget that Disney is putting out The Avengers film later this year, so any profits it makes can at least offset a little of what John Carter loses.
