    You know, if Traci does get nakes in this, we'll have someone in a slave Leia outfit taking it off. That might be a pop-culture sci-fi first.

    I thought she was ok in First Wave.
    Sabato Jr. makes this a car wreck worth watching.

    @♠ Final ♠: I agree with you. Despite her underage porn star origins, she's a good actress. She pretty much stole the screen when she was on Stephen King's Tommyknockers. I wouldn't have thought of casting her for this part right now but I think she'll do a good job with the material given to her.

    My cheese-o-meter has gone all wonky and red-light blinky. It hasn't pegged like this since the last Robert L Lippert extravaganza I endured. This film is definitely going onto my "must purchase from the Big Lots $3 bargin bin" list'.

    As a fan of Edgar Rice Burrough's Mars books, I've got to admit this trailer actually gets me excited. I have a feeling this movie might actually capture the spirit of the books better than a mega-budget movie.

    @BullfightsOnAcid: and especially if all we get from greedbag hollywood is a watered down pg or pg13 film.
    at least this film will have nakedness and killings.

    @gorehound: Not sure about the nakedness... I think Traci has been keeping her clothes on so people consider her a serious actress. Not the wisest of career moves in my opinion.

    Boo. Martians don't wear clothes except for weapons harnesses.
    Is it so much to ask that Traci Lords at least complies with this?

    But I thought Mars needed women!

    It seems that Traci is well preserved for being an 80s (underaged) porn star.

    The Martians should all be nakeder...but I love the way Asylum rushes these wonderfully schlocky movies into production.

    @Bill-Lee: They do have knack for that don't they? I saw "Transmorphers" and "The Terminators" during a desperation run to our local Blockbuster for something to watch on a Friday evening. Then I noticed that almost every third or fourth movie on the supposedly new release wall was one of their films... Got to give them credit for being prolific.

    @Bill-Lee: Just watched the trailer for "The Terminators"... love the "Laser Blast" inspired sound effects... shlock at it's finest, but worth watching to waste an hour our so.

    Are the giant four armed Martians supposed to be wearing masks, or are those their faces?
    Did they just use a Roman gladiator costume for John Carter and Japanese Samurai costumes for the Martians?
    And is that Slave Leia's bikini top???
    Also, will this be R rated. because that would really help.

    @John Hazard: Apparently so! Also,

    The Thoats are two legged instead of eight legged.

    Dejah Thoris is old and white instead of young (looking) and red.

    John Carter appears to be a modern Iraq War veteran

    and I can't for the life of me see four arms on the Tharks.

    I have no hope for this beyond its potential as cheese.
