    the only thing I'm afraid of is that Pixar is going to make the creatures and aliens stylized and goofy looking...instead of something like the environment planned for planet Pandora in Avatar...also can Pixar and Stanton pull off a more adult themed feature?...these images are from Jon Faverau was still attached to direct so it's really unknown if the Pixar artists will use this amazing artwork...

    It's with Disney now, not Pixar. It'll be live action and PG13 like the Pirates movies and according to Stanton a very 'real, sort of National Geographic" look.

    A lot of the artists from Favreau's team are on the Stanton team now.

    They have to realize that if they try and make this a famly film or cut out the main elements that add to what made JCWoM a book that captured the imagination of millions it won't work. After all Edger Rice Burroughs was someone one writing at what then was a new century. At that time societies morals were even more strict than they are today and his books dealt with issues such as warfare, racial tensions, sexuality and public nudity and no one batted an eye. To strip any of these elements from the script will only insure its place in film history mediocrity. After all we have enough bad movies lining the shelves.

    Beautiful Artwork by the way. Not the way I pictured the cities or animals but I grew up with Frazetta as the artists of the Barsoom novels.

    I have read the Barsoom series over and over since I was a kid. If Disney does it and turns it PG13 it is going to suck golf balls.

    They look derivative of Star Wars (ship flying out of Geonosis), cityscapes resemble Cruscant, battle scenes out of Lord of the Rings. No originality. Will be a death knell to this.

    Coruscant (typo)

    You want it R rated ? Death knell.

    "They look derivative of Star Wars" - I guess some of you didn't catch that these images are from Favreau's unfilmed version.

    I agree. if they try to make it like Pirates and dumb down the content then it will fall flat on its face.

    Why would an "R" rating make it a Death Knell? This is not a film that will appeal to kids today.
