We were treated to a look at the teaser poster and a couple of pieces of concept art last month, now Disney have released their first trailer. If you weren’t sold before (and let’s face it, not many of us were) we reckon this promo will seal the deal with a lot of you out there. It did us!

Check it out…

“From Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes “John Carter”–a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). “John Carter” is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.”

JOHN CARTER opens in September 2012.

What do you guys think? Is this glimpse enough to forgiven Disney for butchering the title? Let us know with your thoughts below!
