Watch two new clips from John Carter

Two new clips from Disney's sci-fi epic John Carter are available to watch online.

The first shows Martian princess Dejah Thoris (the beautiful and scantily-clad Lynn Collins) telling John Carter (the handsome and scantily clad Taylor Kitsch) about his new whereabouts in the galaxy.

The second sees the pair fleeing down a martian canyon via a rickety boat (not everything on Mars is high-tech), as a swarm of ugly beasties (and Mark Strong) look on menacingly.

The Edgar Rice Burroughs stories that the film has been adapted from are said to have inspired everything from Star Wars to Avatar .

Find out it the film lives up to any of those movies when it's released in the UK on 9 March 2012.
