Walt Disney Pictures has announced that filming has begun for the new movie “John Carter of Mars” which is based off of novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

The film stars Taylor Kitsch as John Carter and is directed by Andrew Stanton – who also directed Finding Nemo and Wall-E. The character of John Carter is a Civil-War veteran who finds himself battling a new war among Martian inhabitants.

Andrew said about the film: “I have been waiting my whole life to see the characters and worlds of John Carter of Mars realized on the big screen. It is just a wonderful bonus that I have anything to do with it.”

This movie is set to be released to theaters in 2012.
