“ Utah has become Hollywood ’s destination post for depict alien intergalactic worlds . , ” notes the state’sSalt Lake Tribune , citing the unexampled Star Trek , the originalPlanet of the Apes , and now , the adaptation ofEdgar Rice Burroughs ‘ pioneering Barsoom saga .. But while Star Trek spend just four days shooting in the Beehive State , the Tribune reports that directorAndrew Stanton‘s ( WALL - E ) production will spend at least seven months there , including 45 days of motion-picture photography . The country has other ties to Burroughs ; he process as a railroad cop in Salt Lake City in 1904 .
Burroughs ’ John Carter novel , about a Civil War veterinary surgeon who finds himself doing a lot of alien - fighting and princess - rescuing on the planet next door , are the source of what will be the first live - action movie for much of the Pixar squad . The hand , co - publish by Stanton , gota recent glossiness from Michael Chabon . We ’ve been waiting for a good John Carter movie since , oh , about 1917 , so the prospect of Disney ’s 2012 release fill up us with childlike glee . No doubt Utahns feel the same way ; the $ 28 million and 400 business the production is expected to bring to the State Department should more than make up for fall back the Footloose remake to Georgia . ( With Chace Crawford instead of Zac Efron in the lead ? Georgia can have him . )
