    Disney has released the final theatrical trailer for their upcoming sci-fi film John Carter, based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel Princess of Mars.

    The trailer is fully action-packed. Watch it below:

    Official Synopsis:

    From Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes “John Carter”–a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). “John Carter” is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.

    John Carter is set to hit theaters on March 9th

    Apple iPad 3 Event Slated for March 7th in San Francisco

    Apple iPad 3 Event Slated for March 7th in San Francisco

    The Verge just reported that they received an invite from Apple for an iPad 3 announcement to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco at 10am PST, on Wednesday, March 7.

    The invite reads: “we have something you really have to see. And touch“

    No wonder if the iPad 3 comes without Home button, if the image above any indication, notice that the spacing between icons shows that the device is in portrait orientation rather than landscape. the issue of no home button was highly rumored before, and the availability of multi-touch gestures eliminate the need for that button almost to zero.
