Andrew Stanton Goes Live Action

Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo", "WALL-E") is making his live action directorial debut with "John Carter of Mars". The screenplay by Stanton and Michael Chabon ("Spider-Man 2") is based on Edgar Rice Burroughs "A Princess of Mars" which is part of the 11 volume "Barsoom" series.

I'm a huge fan of Burroughs and especially the "Barsoom" series, not to mention being a fan of Stantons and who didn't love "Spider-Man 2"...seriously? The cast already includes shaping up Dominic West, Samantha Morton, Polly Walker, William Dafoe, Lynn Collins and Taylor Kitsch as "John Carter".

It might be a stretch but I'm already betting on this one being a success and hopefully a multi-film series.
