Audio Commentary: Director Andrew Stanton and producers Jim Morris and Lindsey Collins deliver a spirited overview of the film, beginning with the project all but dropping into their laps and quickly moving on to its development, casting, production and visual effects. Great care is devoted to outlining the technical challenges, commenting on the live and computer-generated performances, and charting the 100-year journey from page to screen. Deleted Scenes with Optional Director's Commentary (HD, 19 minutes): Ten deleted scenes are available (among them an alternate opening), but they're in various states of disrepair. Some have been cobbled together using near-finalized footage and storyboards, some have been hurried to the disc with incomplete visual effects, and some rely on overlays and pre-viz CG to convey the events of any given shot. 100 Years in the Making (HD, 10 minutes): Though much too short, this excellent featurette examines Edgar Rice Burroughs' life, the genesis and success of the original "John Carter" series, the many attempts filmmakers from almost every era made to bring his stories to the silver screen, and the eventual adaptation that finally made it into theaters some one-hundred years later. 360 Degrees of John Carter (HD, 35 minutes): This extensive day-in-the-shoot production diary pays a visit to the costume and makeup departments, follows Stanton as he goes about his routine, and watches as the cast and crew prepare to film several shots. Barsoom Bloopers (HD, 2 minutes): Not much to laugh at here. Move along. DVD of feature film |
