It’s doubtful Taylor Kitsch meant to do it, but after he announced he wouldn’t be playing Finnick Odair in ‘The Hunger Games’ second installment ‘Catching Fire’, the forum boards lits up with shouts of relief. When the kids turn on you, you know it’s time to do a career makeover fast!

Sadly, we knew this was coming with the horrific marketing that was done for ‘John Carter’ so Disney can now blame the film for having to write down $200 million in operating losses. This is the Mouse House’s fourth year in a row in writing down a hefty budget fiasco.

Disney is still pushing out as much ‘John Carter’ marketing they can with even the latest trailer hitting today which is feeling more like an act of desperation. By now most people know they’ve dropped the marketing ball horribly on an otherwise good film, but will all this last minute foisting actually help Andrew Stanton’s passion project?

‘John Carter’ could learn from ‘Wrath Of the Titans’ on how to make a trailer that’s thrilling but still tell you what the story is. The latest trailer shows Sam Worthington among monsters, and this will obviously make up for ‘Clash Of the Titans’.

Director/writer Andrew Stanton is letting everyone know that he and Michael Chabon are already working on the sequel for ‘John Carter’, but Disney hasn’t given any signs for greenlighting it.

The ‘John Carter’ movie marketing blitz has been going for a while, but then the weak tracking numbers came out to Disney’s dismay so we’re being inundated even harder. It’s starting to feel like how hard they pushed ‘Tron’ so right now, no talk of sequel for Taylor Kitsch.

Studios love pushing out those red band trailers, but it’s becoming rarer that they’re very shocking or raunchy as the latest for ‘Friends With Kids’ shows below. It’ll be between this and the very low tracking ‘John Carter’ though.

‘John Carter’ is that movie that seems like it’ll be better just waiting for blu-ray to watch at home, but at least the latest trailer below shows that it’s not taking itself too seriously.

New posters for ‘The Hunger Games, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ ‘John Carter’, ‘Safe House’ and more have just hit this week so you can check them out below.

More images are hitting from Taylor Kitsch’s ‘John Carter’ Disney movie that hits theaters March 2012. You can check them out below.
