Our Documentary: The Life and Mind of Edgar Rice Burroughs

As some of you know, John Carter Files, while a fan site for sure, happens to be run by a fan whose also an indie film-maker. We have had fun with our fan trailers, but a more serious endeavor is our documentary: The Life and Mind of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Here is a clip from the docu, which is a Kickstarter project (meaning you can visit the Kickstarter page and pre-buy DVD’s and other stuff as a way of backing us). By registering as a backer at Kickstarter, you also get regular updates as the project progresses, etc.

Anyway — here’s a brief demo clip from the docu from its website: http://erb.thejohncarterfiles.com

And here is the link to the Kickstarter page.

Here is more info about the documentary

A Documentary Film about the Extraordinary Edgar Rice Burroughs

Ray Bradbury said of Edgar Rice Burroughs: “He has changed more destinies than any writer in history.” Among those whose destinies the author of Tarzan and John Carter of Mars change :  Carl Sagan, Arthur Clarke, Jane Goodall, George Lucas, and James Cameron.  Why?  What was the spark that Burroughs provided to fire the imaginations of so disparate a group?  ERB: The Life and Mind of Edgar Rice Burroughs explores the extraordinary  life and and even more extraordinary imaginative power of the man who has been called the Rosetta Stone of Modern Science Fiction.  Featuring rare artwork and archival footage, interviews, and dramatic readings, we explore  the mind, the work, and the legacy of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

The Film-makers

Producer/Editor/VFX Supervisor Mark Linthicum has produced four films and worked as a VFX Supervisor or Editor on 18 films.  His IMDB listing can be seen here.

Writer/Director Michael D. Sellers is an award winning independent film-maker who has written and directed four films. See his Internet Movie Data Base profile here. He is a lifetime fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs and has written extensively on him.  Following is a partial list of links to articles on Edgar Rice Burroughs written by Michael Sellers:

An Evening With Danton Burroughs
Edgar Rice Burroughs, John Carter, and  Avatar
John Barth, Edgar Rice Burroughs, John Carter and the Masculine Narrative in Literature
Just how popular were Edgar Rice Burroughs Novels? (Think Harry Potter ++)
Edgar Rice Burroughs and the “Damphool Species of Narrative”

Test Footage — Work-in-Progress Sample

The following test footage is an early sample of a section of the film-in-progress. The photo and graphic still images are not yet based on the high-resolution images  that will be used in the final version, and other background and motion graphics are in draft form.

The John Carter Files

The film-makers maintain a website, The John Carter Files, whose purpose is to promote awareness of Edgar Rice Burroughs and introduce a new generation of readers to the novels that Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote.  Michael Sellers has written over 300 articles for the site which is currently focused on the release of Disney’s adaptation of ERB’s “A Princess of Mars”, but whose longterm objective is to promote interest and awareness in the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs.  The site supports various endeavors including The John Carter Reading Project – a national program to encourage teen readership of the novels–, the #GoBarsoom Netroots Publicity Initiative designed to spread awareness of Edgar Rice Burroughs through fan-based, grassroots media outreach, and is supporting the documentary film ERB: The Life and Mind of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

The Curious Case of the “John Carter Fan Trailer”

Although Burroughs’ most famous creation “Tarzan” made it to cinemas beginnng in 1918 with more than 40 Tarzan films eventually being produced, his other great creation “John Carter” resisted efforts at cinematic interpretation in large part because Burroughs’ imagination exceeded the technical capacity of Hollywood to realize on the screen.  As early as 1936 famed animation director Bob Clampett had developed an animated John Carter of Mars that came close to being the first animated feature film.  The film was later famously developed and abandoned by Disney in the 1990’s, Paramount in the early 2000’s, before Disney re-acquired the rights and made the film that is to be released in 2012.

Like all Edgar Rice Burroughs enthusiasts, the ERB film-makers are following with great interest the progress of Disney’s John Carter, which is the culmination of a century of prior efforts to bring Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Martian series to the cinema.

In February 2012, at a time when there was considerable debate in the industy over whether Disney was effectively promoting the upcoming “John Carter” film, the film-makers became the subject of considerable media attention when they edited and uploaded to YouTube  a “John Carter Fan Trailer” .  The  “Fan Trailer” went viral and became a focus of media and fan attention during the final weeks prior to the release of Disney’s “John Carter” .

The media spotlight on the “fan trailer”  began when “John Carter”  Director Andrew Stanton tweeted: “Great fan trailer! They get it!” and linked to the trailer.  The next day, Ain’t It Cool News posted an article and embed of the trailer with headline: A Fan-Made Trailer Sells JOHN CARTER better than any other trailer so far. A few hours later similar stories and embeds appeared on Collider, Slashfilm, Badass Digest, Film School Rejects and others. It then spread to more blogs — a total of more than 200 — as well as mainstream media publications including Wired (Fan Trailer for John Carter Tops Studios Best Efforts) , Entertainment Weekly (John Carter Fan Trailer: Okay, this has to get you excited!) , The Hollywood Reporter, (Fan Made Trailer for John Carter could be better than studio original) nd the Los Angeles Times (Fans Create unofficial new trailer for John Carter).   CNN also ran a story (Fans Create their own John Carter Trailer).   In the first three days after Stanton’s tweet, the trailer received 100,000 views on YouTube and became a significant part of the conversation about the movie.

Here is the John Carter Fan Trailer, which was created on February 5, 2012 by film-makers Michael D. Sellers and Mark Linthicum by downloading all of the previously released Disney John Carter Footage including 3 Trailers, 6 TV spots, and more than a dozen featurettes, and the using this as the basis to create a new trailer.  Beneath the trailer are Youtube Comments as of February 25, 2012.

I had a passing interest in checking it out because I read the book a long time ago, but ever since checking this out a few days ago, I can’t wait to see it. I even started re-reading it. Seriously, amazing job. Please keep up the stellar work!

• Disney marketing sucks all the balls ever. Seriously. As an ad man and a marketing guy, THIS got more people likely to see a Disney film than their mish mash marketing so far, which SUCKS. Seriously, wtf? Don Draper would be kicking asses at Disney over this – this trailer is more engaging (and btw the led zeppelin touch – winning!) and FRAK!

  Whoever you are you have a future in the business. The “official” trailer would have earned a boot “occupying” my ass.

• Studio’s buy into crap advertising firms sell THEM so they can essentially wet their nethers while not actually thinking about real customers or movie-goers. I’ve watched documentaries on it and it’s hilarious how self-serious they are and how they become so consumed by the perspective of people are commodities and that there are secret formulas. It’s really not complicated, just do what this shit did, for free compared to the crap “professional” trailer companies have put out.

• @35Cory85 really bro? you realize that you wouldnt be able to see earth from mars’ night right?

  only in the evenings and mornings during certain parts of the year, and even then only briefly.

  you know why! because when it is night the sun doesnt go out!!!!!!!! the planet is facing the opposite direction away from the sun! you are standing on the part looking directly away from mars!

  admittedly, Burroughs made this error a few times in his work – _ –

• What I like about this trailer is that it hints at more of the unexplained aspect of the original novel-

  John Carter’s travel between two worlds, his “death” on Earth and subsequent arrival on Barsoom, how he remembers no childhood and never seems to age. I’ve dreamed of a movie like this since reading the original trilogy – A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars and The Warlord of Mars, in the early 1960s. Edgar Rice Burroughs would be proud!

And besides, I especially enjoy how you kept the Disney logo in its “Walt Disney Pictures” form. Shortening it to “Disney” and keeping it for such a grown-up film as John Carter is a little ridiculous if you ask me.

  1) Disney, hire this person IMMEDIATELY. Fire whoever is in charge of making the trailers for John Carter (of Mars) and hire this person instead. Clearly they understand how to market a movie better than your entire marketing department, BASED ON TWO TRAILERS AND A HANDFUL OF VIDEOS! (And, obviously, knowledge from having been a fan of the book, but that doesn’t affect what material is available for a fan trailer.)

  Baalek1 3 days ago

• @Baalek1 2) It is deeply, deeply sad that this trailer is even necessary. When the marketing for a movie is so poorly handled that FANS OF THE MOVIE (that hasn’t even been released yet, natch) feel the need to step in and help you, YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING VERY WRONG. Disney, look to your marketing department and weep.
