Face of mars april 2001 series#
In the wake of a series of mysterious 'incidents', Mars Police Force officer Lt. Martian society has become matriarchal, centring on the city of Chryse, with smaller, far-reaching outposts connected by an expansive network of trains. Set in the second half of the 22nd century, Mars has been 84% terraformed, giving the planet an Earth-like atmosphere. Given the film's debt to Western cinema, particularly the works of Howard Hawks, it has been considered by a number of critics as an example of the Weird Western subgenre. The film has received a cult following since its release, with critics praising the action sequences, soundtrack and blending of genres.
The film would be John Carpenter's last feature until his return with The Ward in 2010. The film received mostly negative reviews and was a box office bomb, earning $14 million against a $28 million production budget. Set on a colonized Mars in the 22nd century, the film follows a squad of police officers and a convicted criminal who fight against the residents of a mining colony who have been possessed by the ghosts of the planets original inhabitants. The film stars Natasha Henstridge, Ice Cube, Jason Statham, Pam Grier, Clea DuVall, and Joanna Cassidy. It was produced by Screen Gems and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. Ghosts of Mars (titled onscreen as John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars) is a 2001 American science fiction action horror film written, directed and scored by John Carpenter.
