From Slashfilm, Pixar to make a John Carter of Mars trilogy.
A Princess of Mars was first published in 1917. The movie will follow Civil War vet John Carter, who is transplanted to Mars, where he discovers a lush, wildly diverse planet whose main inhabitants are 12-foot tall green barbarians. Finding himself a prisoner of these creatures, he escapes, only to encounter Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, who is in desperate need of a savior.
UPDATE: This is from CHUD, a little more info about the film and another one in Pixar's line up.
The films would be live action with animated elements - most likely the Martian backgrounds and the beasts, but hopefully not the babes - and that could mean that 2012, an estimated year for the release of this movie, could be a historic one for Pixar. That might be the year when the animation studio releases two films that use or are live action; Brad Bird's mysterious live action project - rumored to be called 1906 and to be about the great San Francisco earthquake of that year - is tentatively penciled in for 2012.
