If you’re like most people, your reaction to the trailers for John Carter has probably been something along the lines of: “Wow, pretty colors! Hmm, green people? Say, shirtless Tim Riggins!

In an effort to provide the largest platform possible for an massively expensive film based on an essentially unknown property and starring an unproven demi-star, Disney will debut a new trailer for John Carter during the Super Bowl. Roughly nine seconds of the advert have already hit the Internet, along with a promise that you can win tickets to Super Bowl 2013 if you pay close attention to a top-secret code in the actual trailer.

Tons of clips in today's update, so keep scrolling till you see Patton Oswalt. ;)
The second part of the interview The Gaming Liberty did with Bear McCreary has been posted (hit the link for the whole thing). No updates on Blood and Chrome after all. Here are a couple of quotes about Caprica & BSG (note - he is working on an *extended* Caprica soundtrack):
Retroplayer - So with Caprica being cancelled without the chance of a second series and BSG over are you proud of the work you did on them overall? How do you feel looking back?
