Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins head to 'Mars'

Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins have signed on to star in Andrew Stanton's upcoming live-action fantasy flick "John Carter of Mars," according to Variety.
Based on the books by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the film version focuses on a Civil War veteran (Kitsch) who is mysteriously transported to Mars, where he encounters a bunch of four-armed, green creatures.
The trade says Collins will play the Princess of Mars. Collins and Kitsch ("Friday Night Lights") previously co-starred in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
"Mars" will head into principal photography next year, with a release set for 2012. Stanton's credits include "Finding Nemo" and "WALL-E."
