It also stars, along with the people previously mentioned, Bryan Cranston, Dominic West, James Purefoy, Samantha Morton, and Polly Walker.
I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm damn excited for this. I frickin loved Wall-E.
OH! AND! The score will be composed by the great Michael Giacchino, of Lost, Up and Star Trek fame.
Why didn't someone mention those cast members FIRST?! That's a pretty remarkable cast, I'd say. Hell, now *I'M* getting excited about this!

Yeah, looking down the cast list some more, I see more and more of the cast of "Rome" in there. Does BBC or HBO have anything to do with this project? Ciarán Hinds, James Purefoy, Polly Walker, and others. Might be quite a ride indeed.

Glad I could be of some assistance!
I've yet to read the novel, but all the talent involved is just amazing.

Okay. I started reading SciFi/Fantasy with Burroughs. I'm gonna be hopeful.
The character list on IMDB might indicate they'll stick pretty close to the Burroughs story, since all the important folk from the book are in there. Michael Chabon being involved in the writing will mean an interesting story, if The Yiddish Policemen's Union is any indication. Now if they'll take a cue from the Franzetta illustrations for the art direction.
Might like to have seen Josh Duhamel as John Carter, as mentioned on IMDB.
Be interesting to see how they realize the green Martians - 12+ feet tall with four arms, tusks, and wide-set eyes.
