I'm guessing Andrew Stanton also chose the BD cover:

Do you know anything about the marketing thing w/ JC? That'd answer it.

On a serious note..the cover doesn't bother me too much..it's just...meh.

That cover looks as bad as most artwork devised specifically for home video.

True. Similar to how, to use a recent example, The Three Musketeers had some good posters and the BD cover looks like a five year old's first attempt with photoshop.

But I'm surprised that for John Carter they'd manage to come up with something worse than what was done for the theatrical marketing material. Just as generic? Sure. But worse? That's a minor feat.

Ross mismanaged the entire studio during his tenure.

Films like Tron: Legacy and John Carter were put into pre-production on Dick Cook's watch.

When Cook got replaced with Ross, films that should've been hits underpreformed and Ross' films were all fucking disasters.

Re: PIXAR: John Carter of Mars Trilogy
I actually saw this movie last night. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. My biggest problem is I really didn't care about the war between the red and the blue roman guys. I mean it was the least interesting part of the plot. Also all those green martians with four hands looked too similar to me.

Actually, the studio didn't want to compete at the box office with Remo Williams: The Adventure Continues.

Re: PIXAR: John Carter of Mars Trilogy
So Disney lost the rights to John Carter...

Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc:

"We will be seeking a new partner to help develop new adventures on film as chronicled in the eleven Mars novels Burroughs wrote. This adventure never stops. Along with a new Tarzan film in development by Warner Bros., we hope to have John Carter Of Mars become another major franchise to entertain world-wide audiences of all ages.”
that is all....

Wonder if it's less "lost the rights" and more "willingly gave up the rights," kind of like the Chronicles of Narnia.

ha.... Very true.

I LOVED John Carter of Mars. I'd dig more of it with the same crew etc.
