More casting news on the John Carter of Mars front:
Samantha Morton, Dominic West and Polly Walker are joining the film
Samantha Morton will be playing Sola, the secret daughter of Tars Tarkas who also trains John Carter when he first gets to Barsoom
Dominic West will play the evil Zodangan prince Sab Than, who you may recall is part of the civil war fun
Polly Walker will play the evil Sarkoja, who exposed Tars Tarkas’s lover, thus causing her death.
The fact all those characters are there gives hope they are following the book pretty closely. And thank goodness there is no Tracy Lords in the cast.
