Disney's John Carter movie costume on display...

Disney's sci-fi action movie John Carter may not have received stellar box office results, but that doesn't mean that you still can't marvel over the cool costumes and props featured in the Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation.

Tars Tarkas props and more from John Carter on display...

In the movies it's not only the costumes and special effects that can transport you to other worlds, it's also the movie props used by the actors and to dress a set that can help you make believe.

Included amongst the array of props was the medallion used by John Carter to transport himself to Mars, when he kills and takes it from the Thern in the cave on Earth.

Also on display was John Carter's Will and journal props, which his nephew Edgar 'Ned' Rice Burroughs reads after the apparent death of his wealthy and eccentric uncle.

Also integral to the movie's plot is this door from the mausoleum crypt where John Carter is placed when he 'dies'.

The Latin inscription on the door 'Inter Mundos' contains a secret key code to the vault, which only opens from the inside, and I believe it translates as 'Between Worlds', which is quite appropriate.

The exhibit also included telescope and sword props used by the digitally-created green six-limbed Martian Thark Jeddak (leader), 'Tars Tarkas', voiced by Willem Dafoe.

Matai Shang Thern robes from John Carter on display...

I've previously featured Mark Strong's 'Matai Shang' costume from John Carter, which was on display at ArcLight Sherman Oaks cinema, but this version at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on March 15, 2012, also sported the meddling Thern's medallion to complete the look.

In Disney's John Carter, the mysterious Therns travel from planet to planet in our solar system using these medallions, masquerading as the native population they manipulate events to shape the future to their liking.
