CraveOnline: What is ‘John Carter’ going to sound like?
Giacchino: "Hopefully it sounds like Barsoom (which is Martian for “Mars). Hopefully it sounds like the epic, massive story that it is. That’s really what we want. It’s really a romantic, epic tale. I didn’t to be afraid to do that. This is going to be big, epic, romantic, frightening and also emotional. It was one of those things when you hear of a film being made and you go, “Well, I have to do that.” That was one of those ones. I’m a huge fan of Andrew Stanton, and while I’ve known him for many years we’ve never worked together in that capacity. So it was fun to get to know him even better as a creative collaborator. I just had such a great time working with him, and I’m really proud of what he’s done on his first live-action film. Which actually, the same for Brad Bird. You know, his first live-action film Mission: Impossible [Ghost Protocol]… Youwould never know that these guys had never made a live-action film before by watching these movies. You would think that they had done a hundred of them. It’s really impressive, and I think their years at Pixar have really prepped them for this."
