Film: 300 Frank Millers Retelling

[McLaren]

when I found out that the story of the 300 Spartans and 700 Greeks fighting and holding off some 120,000 Persians at the battle of Thermopylae was being made into a new movie, I was really excited. for a while now, I've truly been waiting for this movie to come out. the promo trailer looks great, but I think I was expecting something more realistic (I know it's Frank Miller) than grandiose body gestures like Sin City. this is a major historical battle and a turning point in the Greek way of life. I'm sure there will be some historical accuracy entwined with the hollywood drama, but thats not my problem. I just thought this story itself contained enough drama to be compelling enough without the extra, unneeded, hollywood drama (I know that is hollywood).

but of course I will obviously wait until I actually watch the whole movie before coming to a final conclusion. and I will definitely go see it, because it looks like a really intense movie, historical crap be damned! so I think I can enjoy it for what it is... a highly dramatized, action intensive, Frank Millerized movie retelling of a classic battle. any thoughts?

at the very least, watch the trailer. especially if you like Frank Miller. I think you will be impressed too.

we also get to see a rippled, half naked Gerard Butler... if that's your thing

Opening March 9, 2007. I just saw the trailer at The Departed (great movie by the way) and it looks excellent on the big screen. I haven't had this much anticipation in a movie in a long while.

a new teaser trailer at apple.

 

[McLaren]

there is a new theatrical trailer at the 300 web site that features more dialogue. yeah I realize that I'm the only one interested.

 

[JerryBlunted]

i'm fucking interested... frank miller is straight gold as far as i'm concerned... and his take on a troy/gladiator style movie will be money.

I was psyched about this movie since the leaked trailer. Too bad theres still quite a while before this movie comes out. I love the way they romanticized every detail in the costumes and surroundings. I dont even care about the historical accuracy in this movie, the way the battle was visualized and the gritty tone of the movie is an art in itself worth watching.

Once you're into the site, click on 'media' then 'trailers'. I almost like the 'teaser' trailer better than the 'theatrical' one...

Looks badass! %)

I am soooo stoked to see this film. For the last few years I have been ranting about how there needs to be a kickass action movie about Spartans in Thermopile, and lo and behold here it is.

 

[Pander Bear]

I will be in attendance.

If people wouldn't adlib titles so often there wouldn't be so many double posts.

But thanks
