Traci Lords, Princess of Mars
November 24, 2009
The Asylum is a film studio that makes “mockbusters”, straight-to-DVD releases that often just happen to be of a similar title and general theme of a movie coming almost immediately to a theater near you. For example, The Day The Earth Stopped, timed with the release of the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, or their 2005 War of the Worlds that came out right before the Spielberg/Tom Cruise one.
Pixar has a adaptation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel A Princess of Mars (from the John Carter of Mars series) in the works, but that’s years away. However, James Cameron has mentioned that A Princess of Mars served as some of the inspiration for Avatar. The book is in the public domain, so, voila, here’s an adaptation starring Traci Lords!
It comes out on DVD on December 29th. The trailer for it is available here on YouTube.
