Taylor Kitsch - Taylor Kitsch Lands Breakthrough Role In John Carter

Speaking to the National Post on a press junket, Kitsch said "It's really funny. You work for two-plus years, or whatnot, and all of the movies come out in six months." The first of those will be the release of John Carter, based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic novel A Princess of Mars. Kitsch will play the role of a Confederate Civil War veteran, transported to Mars. Once there, the change in gravity gives him superhuman powers, and he becomes a much-needed asset to the planet's warring tribes. The film will feature a mixture of live action and Cgi and some of the creatures' voices will be provided by Willem Defoe, Samantha Morton and Haden Church. Other actors in the film include Lynn Collins and Dominic West.
