Empire Online about the project that I think we’d all assumed was a sure thing, and sounds a little hesitant. “The way it stands is that we have artists working on research, we’re working on a script and we should know by the spring whether we’re going ahead or if the project goes back on the woodpile,” he says. This is a project that’s been on the woodpile before. It’s had several different directors attached to it over the years, and never quite made it into production. John Carter of Mars could be though. Or at least one hell of a spectacle. “It’s actually been a bit of a creative well spring than influenced Star Wars a great deal and Superman can kind of be traced back to it. Basically any science fiction goes back to the grandfather, which is John Carter,” says Favreau. Superman plus Star Wars sounds pretty good. Let’s hope he can make it happen where others have failed.
