One of the centrepieces of the John Carter marketing push has been a big battle between the title character and what are being referred to as ‘white apes’ (that’s what they were called in Edgar Rice Burroughs original stories), which are impressively ugly, six-limbed behemoths that want to tear Carter to bits. Now an extended sneak peak at the effects filled battle has popped up online, which is well worth a look, and not just for the fight-scene itself, as it also includes a lot of very cool footage from a film that’s starting to get some really strong buzz. The film hits cinemas on March 9th.
