John Carter of Utah?

From the Animation Flash newsletter:

STANTON'S JOHN CARTER OF MARS STARTS FILMING IN NOVEMBER.
THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE is reporting that Disney/Pixar's first live-action
feature will begin filming in Utah in November. Andrew Stanton's
adaptation of JOHN CARTER OF MARS is a project that has been developed
and shelved in Hollywood for decades. Previous filmmakers who have tried
to bring the story to the screen include Bob Clampett, Ray Harryhausen,
John McTiernan, Jon Favreau, Robert Rodriguez and SKY CAPTAIN helmer
Kerry Conran.

Like STAR TREK, JOHN CARTER will utilize Utah's unique terrains for its Mars locations. Based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs' sci-fi series, the story finds an American Civil War vet transported to Mars where he encounters strange adventures.
