A few days ago, I got to talk with Lynn Collins about both John Carter and Ten Year at Disney’s D23 convention in Anaheim. When I spoke with director Andrew Stanton a few months ago about John Carter, he revealed they did some reshoots and the main thing they worked on was Lynn Collins (Dejah Thoris) character. While he wasn’t very specific about what they reshot, Collins was more forthcoming, as she told me they had to “take out some of the punches. There were a lot of punches.” She went on to explain that they were trying to see how masculine could they make Dejah when they first shot it, and they had to figure out how they could they make her a warrior without it coming off as too much.
During the rest of the interview, she talked about her reaction to seeing the teaser trailer, how she got the role, Ten Year, and more. Hit the jump to watch, and click here for all our video interviews from D23.

Lynn Collins is voluptuous, gorgeous, sexy and beautiful. I love her. She’s a really sweet girl. She’s amazing. That woman is incredible.
A lot of people don’t know that she is a cougar. Her husband is 25 and she is 34.
She is the perfect pick for this picture!!!!!!!
is she drunk off her ass or what?
Anyone who would try to see how masculine he can make Dejah Thoris is a Hollywood philistine with no sense of romance. Or taste. Warrior Princesses (modeled, no doubt, on all those warrior princesses that litter history) are a contemporary cliche. This shows a total lack of understanding of the source material. Mr. Stanton seems to be methodically ripping out of the story anything that would make it different from present day films.
