New John Carter Trailer from Japan

For those who want to know more about John Carter (of Mars) before it hits the big screen (and IMAX) in March, it sometimes pays to keep an eye on marketing in foreign markets, where audiences expect to see more about the story before they decide to go see a film or not. Case in point is this new trailer for John Carter that aired in Japan. It has a lot more of John Carter’s backstory to explain how he ended up on Mars / Barsoom.
