Taylor Kitsch, star of Disney’s notoriously pricey 2012 flop JohnCarter, reflects on the film and the life it has taken on since release: 'I wouldn't change a thing, to be honest.'
Taylor Kitsch, star of John Carter, reflects on the film flopping at the box office and the life it has taken on since its release. John Carter was released in 2012, with WALL-E and Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton at the helm. The film adapted the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs story A Princess of Mars, with Kitsch starring as the hero John Carter.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY John Carter was a pricey gamble from Disney, who was hoping to kick-start a franchise, shelling out $250 million for the film's budget. The final product was a heavily CGI-fueled action-adventure spectacle that failed to attract audiences. Critics and viewers seemed to agree about the film, both offering middling reviews that called the film fun but uneven.
"Aww, thanks man. I appreciate you guys' support too. I'm always flattered. That showed me, and I learned an incredible amount on that movie. I still have great relationships with that movie, which says a ton. I have no ill will whatsoever, I learned a lot, man. And took some big strides personally and professionally through that. It hurt, obviously, at the time, but in retrospect, I wouldn't change a thing, to be honest. It is what it is, we all have those moments...
Disney has dealt with other big-budget bombs that were meant to become franchises. For example, there was Tomorrowland, from The Incredibles director Brad Bird and starring George Clooney, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which was critically panned and received backlash for casting Jake Gyllenhaal as the lead.
John Carter was also, unfortunately, not Kitsch's only misfire in 2012. That year saw the actor star in the critically panned Battleship, which was based on the board game and featured a similarly high budget while again failing to meet expectations at the box office. Still, Kitsch has seen his career bounce back, going on to star in True Detective, Waco, and The Terminal List. Therefore, while John Carter may be remembered as a flop, Kitsch is still happy to have had the experience.
