The release of John Carter, Andrew Stanton‘s epic adaptation of the legendary Edgar Rice Burroughs sci-fi pulp adventures, is less than three weeks away and the creative madmen and madwomen at Mondo have cooked up an interesting little treat for the film’s IMAX 3D premiere.

Artist J.C. Richard has designed an exclusive John Carter commemorative poster that will be free to those who see the film at participating IMAX theaters on its first day of release.

Walt Disney Pictures has released three new clips from John Carter, director Andrew Stanton‘s mega-budget adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs‘ classic Martian Tales Trilogy. You can watch them here below.

In the first clip Carter (Taylor Kitsch) has his first encounter with Martian warlord Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe). The second is a scene between Kitsch and Lynn Collins, playing Dejah Thoris, where Carter’s dilemma becomes all too clear to him. The final scene shows Carter meeting for the first time Woola, a Martian creature known as a calot who will become the heroic Earthman’s faithful companion throughout the story.

Hot on the heels of the recent Super Bowl TV spot Walt Disney Pictures released another preview for their sci-fi adventure John Carter last night during the premiere of the ABC series The River.

Walt Disney Pictures premiered a new television spot for their upcoming big-budget sci-fi adventure John Carter last night during the Super Bowl and later released an extended version of the preview online.

You can watch both videos here below.

Both versions of the preview begin with a montage of scenes from John Carter that slowly reveal to form the film’s title, which would be a kick to watch if not for the fact that both the title and the logo font are awful. Go with the extended spot which delivers lots more action, sumptuous Martian vistas, and leapin’ Taylor Kitsch a-plenty!

With the Super Bowl set to kick off in just a matter of days, film studios are not wasting any time getting either their entire spots, or the buzz started surrounding their spots, for some of 2012’s most hyped projects.

Full spots have been released for Sacha Baron Cohen’s upcoming film The Dictator, as well as G.I. Joe: Retaliation. On top of that, teasers have been posted for The Avengers and John Carter, hinting at the spots which will premiere during the game on Sunday.
