Out of this world movie!

March 8th, 2012 by Ange | No Comments | Leave a comment | Filed in Screen |

Wooooo! John Carter hits cinemas today! The movie’s about a guy named John Carter, who gets transported to the planet Barsoom, (which is known as Mars to us Earthlings) and ends up helping the Barsoom natives. It’s a cool action sci-fi flick and we reckon the creatures look amazing. Older YAKS will dig the battle scenes too!

Here are three facts you gotta know about Taylor Kitsch, who plays John Carter:

  • He played Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
  • His role models are Christian Bale, Matt Damon and Johnny Depp
  • He used to play ice hockey before he injured his knee.

 

For more on John Carter, grab the latest issue of MANIA on sale now! There’s also a sweet Barsoom Bounty giveaway in it!
