Trivia:

Jon Favreau was on-board to direct John Carter of Mars (2012) until around August 2006. At this time Paramount chose not to renew the film rights, preferring to focus on Star Trek (2009), while Favreau left to work on Iron Man (2008). In January 2007 Disney regained the rights (they had rights to film the story previously: in the 1980s with director 'John McTiernan)', and enlisted 'Andrew Stanton' from Pixar to direct.
