Those books were old when I was young.

If Seth Rogan had been involved in this I would have driven up to Hollywood on a raging bender of a meltdown.

I'm gonna guess all of the sex and noodity has been taken out and replaced with more violence, explosions and chase scenes.

It is rated PG-13.

Disney is releasing the movie under the Disney brand and not one of their other studies.

So the sex and nudity are certainly out. grin

There wasn't any sex in the books. A fair amount of nudity and near nudity, though.

Here's John Carter's first view of the incomparable Dejah Thoris...



And the sight which met my eyes was that of a slender, girlish figure, similar in every detail to the earthly women of my past life... Her face was oval and beautiful in the extreme, her every feature was finely chiseled and exquisite, her eyes large and lustrous and her head surmounted by a mass of coal black, waving hair, caught loosely into a strange yet becoming coiffure. Her skin was of a light reddish copper color, against which the crimson glow of her cheeks and the ruby of her beautifully molded lips shone with a strangely enhancing effect.

She was as destitute of clothes as the green Martians who accompanied her; indeed, save for her highly wrought ornaments she was entirely naked, nor could any apparel have enhanced the beauty of her perfect and symmetrical figure.
