    maybe some of youare excited but i wonder why i feel like this is just another raping of my youth.
    i happen to love these books and still own them and read some again last year.

    these books should be an R Rated film with lots of violence and nudity......
    i compare this to maybe like a conan the barbarian type movie........................
    well are you still optimistic about this knowing it is Disney/Pixar ????
    i am feeling like a G -PG kiddie film coming strong and that is going to suck

    I like this! I have for years held a major crush on Samantha Morton. Ever since minority report and made it a effort to see all of her films.

    I`m all for Samantha Morton and Willem Defoe.

    They find a better cast than Taylor and Lynn . But I guess it`s too late .

    @disatess: Disney did preliminary work on an animated version of A Princess of Mars back in the early 1930s, so it's like the book has come home.

    @Whitworthian: I got an old printing of "princess of mars " from 1917 .
    And I didn`t see a disney logo on it .

    I did see rough animation for that , though it would be great in it`s own way .
    But it would still fall short from the book .

    I'm excited for this, because Pixar can do no wrong, and ERB wrote the original space opera. But I'm a little leery about the reception of this, because it will have to be absolutely perfect to be successful. Otherwise people will be saying "oh, it just rips off Star Wars/Avatar." And when they do that, a little part of me will die.

    @Wookie1972: And yet the books and characters are older than both starwars/Avatar. so think nothing about it.

    @disatess: That's what I meant. Even if they point out in the ads that it was written almost 100 years ago, people will *still* perceive it in that way.

    Re: Jack Harkness.
    1. One of his wives, Lucia Moretti, died of old age; another, Estelle Cole, was killed by fairies.
    2. Jack's daughter, Alice Carter, appears to be the same age that he is, but remember, he’s 2000+ years old when we meet her.

    The Immortal from Robert Kirkman's Invincible series.

    Det. Christian Walker (and a few others) from Bendis's Powers.

    DC's Immortal Man.

    All three started out as cave men...but only one was also Abraham Lincoln!

    Just recently read "Forever" which was rather interesting, if not very similar in some ways to Highlander, though much better researched. But in any case the main character is a young Irishman witnessing the entire history of Manhattan. It's also often rather violent which it's soft glow book cover betrays.

    Oh, and if we're talking comic books, there's also the entire cast of Fables. Not only are they eternally youthful, but depending on how popular their stories are, some can even survive a point-blank gunshot wound to the head.

    You missed a couple of obvious ones:

    First up: Mr. Immortal from the GLA (who basically has the exact same powers as Captain Jack, except dies even more frequently and painfully)

    Second: The Immortal (from the 1970 TV Series). Hunted by a dying billionaire who wants to use his miraculous Type-O super-blood, Ben Richards travels from town to town, always one step ahead of his pursuers, just like his buddies The Fugitive and The Incredible Hulk. Ironically, Richard's blood grants him super-immunity to diseases and renders him ageless, but it doesn't make him indestructable.

    Wolverine over Superman? Are you kidding. Superman has been seen either aged in the 31st Century (Kingdom Come), ageless in the 853rd Century (DC One Million) and in an issue of the Flash is around to watch the sun die. Wolverine has nothing on the big, blue, boy scout for longevity.
