The Backbrain has already shown you<\/a> how John Carter (Antonio Sabato, Jr.) and Tars Tarkas are to be depicted in The Asylum’s upcoming version of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Princess of Mars<\/em> (US-2009; dir. Mark Atkins), but what of the titular Princess herself, who is to be played by Traci Lords?<\/p>\n

In the book Dejah Thoris is described as stunning beautiful — “beautiful in the extreme”, in fact — with “coal black hair”, “light reddish copper” skin and “save for her highly wrought ornaments … entirely naked”.<\/p>\n

Well, we’ve got some pictures of Traci as Dejah for you … but don’t get too excited. This is a family movie. You can’t expect it to align too closely to the original source text, can you?<\/p>\n

\"princess02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But she’s arrested for being wantonly blonde!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"princess05\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She’s obviously too buxom to escape through those gaps!<\/span><\/p>\n
