Chabon Doing Rewrites on John Carter of Mars
Michael Chabon is working on the script for Disney's JOHN CARTER OF MARS, according to Chabon fansite, The Amazing Website of Kavalier and Clay (via Slash Film).
"I've been hired to do some revisions to an already strong script by Andrew Stanton and Mark Andrews," Chabon said. "I wrote my original screenplay THE MARTIAN AGENT back in 1995 because I wished I could do [Edgar Rice] Burroughs's BARSOOM. So this is pretty much a dream come true for me."
The film, based on the books by Edgar Rice Burroughs is set for a 2012 release and will be directed by Stanton.
