Ah yeah, Traci Lords in a full-blown (wrong words perhaps) science fiction picture? I’m so there! And hopefully you are too, or at least half-way interested in seeing director-turned-D.P. (Jesus, the puns won’t end) Mark Atkins’ new film PRINCESS OF MARS.

Said to be an updated version of Edgar Rice Burrough’s famous tale (from way back in 1912), PRINCESS OF MARS looks like this:

John Carter (Antonio Sabato Jr.), a Confederate American Civil War veteran, goes prospecting in Arizona and, when set upon by Indians, is mysteriously transported to Mars, called “Barsoom” by its inhabitants. Carter finds that he has great strength on this planet, due to its lesser gravity. Carter soon falls in among the Tharks, a nomadic tribe of the planet’s warlike, four-armed, green inhabitants. Thanks to his strength and combat abilities he rises in position in the tribe and earns the respect and eventually the friendship of Tars Tarkas (Matt Lasky), one of the Thark chiefs.

The Tharks subsequently capture Dejah Thoris (the Lords), Princess of Helium, a member of the humanoid red Martian race. The red Martians inhabit a loose network of city states and control the desert planet’s canals, along which its agriculture is concentrated. Carter rescues her from the green men to return her to her people.

Joining Lords is none other than B-movie epicure Antonio Sabato Jr., as well as Matt Lasky, Chacko Vadaketh, Mitchell Gordon, Noelle Perris, Matt Lagan, Tomas Boykin and Kimberly Ables Jindra.

PRINCESS OF MARS looks to hit DVD on December 29th.
