John Carter of Mars - Banth bones?

Orlandi Statuary was hired to create a bunch of “saber tooth” bones for Pixar’s John Carter of Mars to be scattered around the sets. Since the closest thing to sabretooths in the literature is Banths, people are speculating we have Banth Bones!

John Carter of Mars news - Ciaran Hinds interview

Ciaran Hinds will be playing Tardos Mors (misspelled as Tardes Mors) in John Carter of Mars and Aberforth Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. He just gave an interview to Collider with some information.

John Carter talk:

Talks about who he plays in the film – plays Tardes Mors – the leader of one of the two warring tribes on Mars
Tells me how he got cast in the film and how he was a huge fan of Andrew Stanton’s work
Says the script is so well written – filled with energy and drive
Says it’s live action, CG and animation
Has already filmed a few days
Does he think the movie will push the boundaries of film like Avatar
Talks about a big set piece “where everyone is involved” and that will take 8 or 9 days in March, then he does two small scenes in early April, then he goes to Utah to film as that’s going to fill in for Mars

Mark Strong talks John Carter of Mars

If you can’t wait for Asylum’s Princess of Mars to drop later this month, here is a quick interview of Mark Strong about his Matai Shang role in the upcoming Pixar John Carter of Mars film. CinemaBlend has him chatting about being a shapeshifting villain. I don’t remember Matai Shang shapeshifting (or even being in the first book, but, whatever) Mark Strong is also Lord Blackwood in the upcoming Sherlock Holmes film.
