GALLERY: 'Battleship' Star Taylor Kitsch Sinks Our Hearts
Clear eyes. Full heart. SO HOT.
We're glad to see "Battleship" and "Savages" star Taylor Kitsch making it on the big screen, though we'll always remember where we met him: the high school football field of Dillon, Texas.
Now that the "Friday Night Lights" star has graduated to the world of movies, we thought this was the right time to check out his performance in his new summer blockbuster movie ... and his even more compelling performance on the red carpet.
Because he's really gorgeous, get it?

'John Carter' Faceplants at the Box Office
Disney
The lead character of Disney's sci-fi epic "John Carter" may have amazing powers, like jumping incredibly high and being able to throw huge boulders, but there's one power even he cannot overcome: The power of the mustache.
Yes, according to Hollywood.com, "The Lorax" once again topped the box office this weekend, pulling in an estimated $39 million dollars. "John Carter," meanwhile, fell flat with just $30 million domestically, a tidy sum that looks significantly smaller when compared to the film's huge $250 million budget.
So can international receipts save "John Carter?" For the full box office report, including new horror release "Silent House" and returning hits "Project X" and "Act of Valor," head to Hollywood.com.

In Defense of 'John Carter'
Disney
"John Carter" is coming. You can't escape him. This Confederate soldier turned Western outlaw turned world explorer turned interplanetary warrior (and lover, reowwwr!) is the most discussed fanboy movie since "Avatar."
Even my old man peeked his head out from behind his copy of "The Wall Street Journal" to ask if Disney was gonna lose their shirt on this picture. Then I fetched him his pipe and slippers and waited for Mother to finish braising the roast.
A lot of weisenheimers have taken it upon themselves to beat their social media chests over how derivative the movie looks. "Haven't I already seen 'Attack of the Clones/Avatar/Flash Gordon/Stargate/Planet Hulk'?" some of these douchenozzles have been musing. (Hey, fellas, they're called Tharks, not Snarks!) Get More »

Q&A: Lynn Collins Brings Otherworldly Insight (and Beauty) to 'John Carter'

Taylor Kitsch isn't the only long-haired looker in Disney's mega-budget sci-fi flick, "John Carter."
Lynn Collins has the locks – and the killer bod – to match the former "Friday Night Lights" star as she takes on ass-kicking Martian princess Dejah Thoris.
Of course none of that really happens naturally. Collins had to train to show off her sleek physique in some crazy-revealing costumes and had to tan daily to turn her pale white skin to a crisp, golden tan. Alien, indeed.
Thankfully, the fighting was a little less foreign for Collins, who has a black belt in karate and experience with various weapons, including samurai swords. Still, there was plenty about taking on such a major role that made the actress nervous. Get More »

John Carter of Mars Vs. John Carter of 'ER'
Disney/NBC
It took a full century since Edgar Rice Burroughs created the character in 1912, but "John Carter" is finally slicing, dicing and leaping his way through Martian bad guys to a theater near you via the magic (and deep pockets) of Walt Disney Pictures.
But wait, what's that you say? "John Carter isn't a soldier transported to Mars, he's an emergency room doctor in Chicago!" Them's fightin' words.
To clear up confusion and dishonor, we're pitting Taylor Kitsch's John Carter against Noah Wyle's John Carter from the long-running NBC show "ER." These two had better draw their swords/scalpels and get ready for one serious showdown. Get More »
Taylor Kitsch Probes Mars in 4 'John Carter' Clips
Disney
Pixar alum Andrew Stanton is the writer-director who found Nemo and got WALL-E some interstellar robo-love, but now he's taking on "John Carter." After a century of inspiring everything from "Star Wars" to "Avatar," Edgar Rice Burroughs' sci-fi icon is finally making the leap to the big screen.
Taylor Kitsch plays the title Civil War vet who winds up on the distant planet of "Barsoom," or Mars to the layman, where he befriends red Princess Dejah Thoris (played by red-hot Lynn Collins) and green military leader Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe). Carter takes it upon himself to save the Barsoomians and walk around shirtless most of the time in this mega-budget Disney epic. Get More »

Taylor Kitsch Talks Injuries, Diets and Slaying Giant Apes
When the Mayans ended their calendar with the year 2012, they knew something we didn't: Not that the world was about to end, but that the era of Taylor Kitsch was about to begin.
And with not one, not two, but three massive blockbusters about to destroy your local cineplex — "John Carter," "Battleship" and "Savages" all open this year — Kitsch had plenty to talk about when he sat down with MTV's "10 on Top," starting with what it's like to kick ass on Mars.
"[We were] in this huge arena, basically for entertainment, for them to watch us be killed by these huge, 30-plus-foot great white apes," Kitsch said of one of the most intense moments in "John Carter," which is set to hit theaters on Friday. "How we figured out how to kill them is a great little story."
Tune into MTV's "10 on Top" every Saturday at 11:30 a.m. ET.
