Just been perusing the trailer for Zak Snyder's version of Frank Miller's The 300, and... Wow!

It's done in the Sin City style, and is Frank's take on the famous battle of Thermopylae where the titular 300 Spartans made their last stand against the overwhelming odds of the Persian army.

I'm so looking forward to it!

(I'm probably also swayed by the use of NIN on t' soundtrack)

Spartans! Tonight, we dine in hell!!

Ohhh, you have my attention.

Do you have a link for the trailer at all?

Most certainly!

Let me know what ya think...

Oo... Now that is very, very pretty. It is also very monochromatic!

Do you think that '03.09.07' means the 3rd of September, or the 9th of March? Probably the latter, I suspect.

The lead guy with the beard seems to have gone to the Vin Diesel school of acting - 'I. SHALL. SHOUT. ANYTHING. THAT. IS. MACHO! WITH! EQUAL! EMPHASIS!'

Hehe! He is angry!

The chap playing Leonidas (shouty king), is Gerard Butler, who was The Phantom of the opera and Angie's
man-meat in Tomb Raider 2... Apparently, he used to be a lawyer! Talk about achange of direction!

It's also got David Wenham in it, who was Faramir in Lord of the rings...

(I think I waste valuable brain space with this kinda crap... )

Actor: person who plays a role to make people believe in something that's not true, often by attempting to evoke emotions of anger or sympathy.

Lawyer: (see above).

Nope, that sounds like a pretty normal career path to me! Although talk about a blight on the world: he started out as a lawyer in America, and then he became an actor!

I thought that about 03.09.07 too.

I like the trailer, looks pretty interesting and its a tale I was oft told. They use the quote of the 'blocking out the sun' too.
