John Carter of Mars

Growing up I read about everything I could find by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The John Carter novels were my favorites. They're a fond memory that I've no desire to relive by reading the books, but a movie is a different matter. Disney's making a John Carter movie. Not planning, making. It has begun principal photography in London. I'm kinda looking forward to it. I wonder if they'll keep the egg-laying Martians?
