Samantha Morton, Dominic West pack for 'Mars'

Samantha Morton

The cast of Walt Disney's "John Carter of Mars" is growing, and Samantha Morton, Dominic West and Polly Walker are the latest to join the big-screen adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' series of books.

Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins and Willem Dafoe are already part of the crew. The film focuses on a Civil War veteran (Kitsch) who is mysteriously transported to Mars, where he encounters a bunch of four-armed, green creatures.

The Hollywood Reporter says Walker will play Sarkoja, a tyrant, while West is set to portray Sab Than, a prince who believes he's been chosen to rule Mars. Morton plays Sola, the daughter of Dafoe's character Tars Tarkas.

Andrew Stanton, the guy behind "Finding Nemo" and "WALL-E," is directing. Morton was recently seen in "Synecdoche, New York." West was last seen as a villain in "Punisher: War Zone," and Walker's recent credits include "Rome."

Interesting cast!
