I surmise that in 195x or 196x, when it was relatively recent, it would not

Robert Rodriguez Directing Princess of Mars
Source: The Hollywood Reporter Monday, March 1, 2004
Robert Rodriguez (“Spy Kids” series) is set to direct Edgar Rice Burroughs’
science fiction classic Princess of Mars for Paramount Pictures.
The project is based on the first book in Burroughs’ 11-book series, “John
Carter of Mars,” which centers on John Carter, a Civil War officer from
Virginia who is transported to Mars and finds himself a captive of the savage
green men from Thark. Eventually, he rises to become the greatest warrior of
all time, marries the beautiful Dejah Thoris, raises a family and embarks on
numerous adventures.
Mark Protosevich wrote the latest draft of the script. Rodriguez will first
adapt and direct Sin City, based on the graphic novels by Frank Miller, for
Dimension Films.
