Interview

Michael Sellers is an independent filmmaker and Burroughs fan that started following John Carter production news. He wrote a blog, then a book.

John Carter cost more to make than The Avengers but was marketed 20 times less.

One of the critics' main complaints was that the multiple framing narratives were confusing.

The acquisition of Star Wars made the chance of any future John Carter movies from Disney very unlikely.
