Ten Minutes Of John Carter

Disney really wants you to see its new John Carter movie.

Having irked fans of Edgar Rice Burroughs by cutting the title down from ‘John Carter Of Mars’ to a generic eponym and then releasing a rather lacklustre first trailer, the marketing machine has now changed tack, using a full ten minutes from the start of the film as a promo, just in case you thought it was going to be, you know, too Disney.

Good move. By the look of things, it’s quite the blockbuster.
