Directors Andrew Stanton, Mark Andrews and Pixar executive Jim Morris all attended and confirmed the first John Carter film, which will be part live-action, would hit theaters before 2012.

The movie will follow Civil War vet John Carter, who is transplanted to Mars, where he discovers a lush, wildly diverse planet whose main inhabitants are 12-foot tall green barbarians.

Finding himself a prisoner of these creatures, he escapes, only to encounter Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, who is in desperate need of a savior.

At present the studio has "Wall-E" in 2008, "Up" in 2009, "Toy Story 3" in 2010, and "1906" or the first 'Carter' film for 2011

Sounds cool, a partially live-action pixar trilogy. Seems like it could be kinda epic, too, which would be awesome.

It's nice to see Pixar is growing up. That they only makes kid's movies was starting to piss me off. I wonder it they will be rated R :D ...

Wait... PIXAR?!?! Wow, so unexpecting. It's kind of nice to see a change, though.

About time Pixar shed the throttling yoke of Disney and came out with some mature content. It'll probably be a boon to fantasy films in general, given their efforts for making films strong stories and characters.

Is Disney behind this? They do own Pixar now. Either way, it's good to see Pixar expanding their horizons a bit.
