“John Carter” action-sci-fi exclusive footage released (Video)

With less than a week to go before the March 9 release of Disney's big-budget action-sci-fi John Carter, the studio is offering a 10-minute scene from the film, The Wrap reported.

The film, starring Taylor Kitsch, as a former military captain, is based on the first of 11 books by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Transplanted to Mars, a Civil War vet discovers a lush planet inhabited by 12-foot tall barbarians. Finding himself a prisoner of these creatures, he escapes, only to encounter a princess who is in desperate need of a savior.

Lynn Collins, who plays Princess Dejah, and Willem Dafoe, who plays alien warrior Tars Tarkas, are also signed up for two more films.
