I continue to be really worried about John Carter of Mars which is being turned into a live action movie by Pixar. That's right, Pixar, the animation studio. Burroughs' classic sci-fi novels should by all rights, be R-rated, adult fiction when translated on screen but it's hard to imagine the family friendly Pixar folks and their corporate masters at Disney producing anything that's not family. That probably means that when they start filming, Dejah Thoris will be wearing clothes.
At least we know when they'll start forcing body shame onto the beautiful Martian princess. Salt Lake City radio station KSL reports that they plan to start shooting the movie this November in Utah. The Utah deserts will be stand-ins for Mars, where mysteriously transported Civil War soldier John Carter has his off world adventures.
What better place to turn an R-rated sci-fi novel into a watered down family movie than Mormon country. Unintentional symbolism in the extreme.
