'John Carter' producer: It's nice to be the underdog

"John Carter" won't be released until March 9, but some are already predicting its downfall.

As the Daily Beast reported earlier this week, those in the industry are watching closely to see if "John Carter," based on the fantasy novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, will be able to recoup its $250 million budget. But while the press surrounding the film hasn't been the best, the production team is keeping a positive outlook.

"I think it's kind of nice to be the underdog," said producer Lindsey Collins. "I'm trying to embrace it, to a certain degree, but I think it's one of those things where this is the biggest movie coming out right now."

Overheard: Amanda Seyfried on 'flirting' with Franco

Rumors emerged from the set of the Linda Lovelace movie "Lovelace" that co-star Amanda Seyfried and James Franco were "totally into each other" and "flirting" in between takes.

Seyfried, who portrays the "Deep Throat" adult film actress in the movie while Franco portrayed Hugh Hefner, told CNN at the Los Angeles premiere of her movie, "Gone," that there may have been a kernel of truth to the gossip.

But that would depend on what dictionary you're using:

“Was he [flirting]? I guess so. Were we flirting up a storm? I guess so. What's your definition of flirting? I think Franco was a little bit in character but I... respect that. Whatever it takes!”

We'll get the chance to see their on-screen chemistry when "Lovelace" arrives in theaters this year.
