Disney's John Carter may have failed at the box office and making plans from the studio for future installments drop, but for those of you wanting to see more of this world this doesn't mean you won't get the chance to. It has been announced in a statement by Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. and confirmed by Disney (via THR) that the movie rights to the John Carter of Mars series have reverted back to the estate, that has plans to search for a new studio to re-launch the film franchise.President of ERB Inc., James Sullos, said the following about the plans for the property:
"We will be seeking a new partner to help develop new adventures on film as chronicled in the eleven Mars novels Burroughs wrote. This adventure never stops. Along with a new TARZAN film in development by Warner Bros., we hope to have JOHN CARTER OF MARS become another major franchise to entertain world-wide audiences of all ages."I wasn't overly fond of Disney's John Carter, I think it had great visuals and I could see the potential for a film franchise, but It didn't do much for me. However, to me it is a good thing that the rights have been reverted because it gives the chance to continue to develop the property, which Disney would not have continued to do, and hopefully this time around they can do it successfully.
