** [[The Mockbuster]] (which came out while the regular movie was in [[Development Hell]]) moved it to a "Mars" in another solar system.
** Unusually for the time period, [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]] did take into account existing hypotheses on the livability of Mars, and turned it into a dying world supported by a technological atmosphere plant to keep the air breathable, and a polar ice extraction system to keep the canals filled.
* ''[[Out of the Silent Planet]]'' by [[C. S. Lewis|CS Lewis]].
* [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Stranger in Aa Strange Land]]''.
** Unknown to many, ''Stranger'' is actually a prequel of sorts to RAH's excellent juvenile book called... wait for it.. ''[[Red Planet (novel)|Red Planet]]''. ''Red Planet'' was written decades earlier but featured the same Martians seen in ''Stranger''.
** When it was finally discovered that Mars and other planets in our Solar System are lifeless, Heinlein points out ''his'' alternate universes have life on them and one of his characters expresses disappointment in our universe's Solar System.
*** The [[Animated Adaptation]] moved this to a planet "New Ares", which wasn't in our solar system but resembled pre-Mariner Mars.
