New photo from 'John Carter' arrives

The release of Andrew Stanton's anticipated action fantasy "John Carter" is slowly approaching (we'll still have to wait until March 2012 though), and ET has scored a brand-new image from the movie that stars "Friday Night Lights" alumnus Taylor Kitsch.
Yes, Tim Riggins is back as a Civil War vet transplanted to Mars who discovers a lush planet inhabited by 12-foot tall barbarians. Finding himself a prisoner of these creatures, he escapes, only to encounter a princess who is in desperate need of a savior.
The photo above features one of the beats, and it doesn't look too shabby. According to the director, this is "a formidable creature that you kind of hear about throughout the movie, but you never really witness." Stanton also helmed "WALL-E" and "Finding Nemo."
