New Movie (Spring 07)--"300"

Just found out about this one.
I've always been a fan of the Spartan myths.
(That was even the nickmane for my high school.)

Oh yea, and it's based off of Frank Miller's graphic novel of the same name.
Miller is an awesome comic book writer (Batman, Sin City, Daredevil...)

Lalo, thanks for the background info,
didn't know that was the source for this movie version.

Hope the movie is as good as the trailer looks to be.

No problem Chuck!

It is supposed to be a literal interpretation of Miller's work, like the Sin City movie was to his Sin City comics, so it is almost guaranteed that his movie will be amazing.

Here is a piece of Millar's art in the 300 graphic novel... look familiar to a scene in the trailer?


here's another scene of the trailer

Found a three minute trailer:

Looks like they really do get into some of the real facts about Spartans.
They would leave mishapen babies at the top of a mountain, and they would send their 7 year old sons to the goverment so they can train them to be soldiers.

"Then we will fight in the shade."

Nice find Lalo.
The more I see, the more I can't wait for this one to be released.

Although this visually looks great..I'm not a fan of ancient history unless it's certain aspects of it..this for me isn't one. I was hoping Millers next movie would be Hard Boiled..ahh well maybe the next one will be.

Definately on my must see and buy list. And Burningman, I wanted "Hard Boiled" next also. Really wished he would have done the Elektra or Batman movies.
