300 is going to be so awesome.

I cannot explain it.

I can, however, give you a little bit of a taste.

This is my birthday movie. I'm so thrilled by it. I hope the trailer is going to be in front of Fearless because I really want to see this on a big screen. There is stuff here that wasn't in the Comic Con trailer and there is stuff that was in that trailer that isn't here.

Comics + Spartans + NIN in the background of the trailer = Me Very Happy.

Well it certainly looks very pretty.

They took the graphic novel pretty much page for page and put it on the screen. So, it might not be entirely historically accurate but it will be cool looking. The pre-screenings that have gone on have been very positive.

Yeah, the glimpse of a jabba the hutt type of guy gave me the impression it wasn't going to be accurate. ;)

Probably a good hint.

It is Frank Miller. Sin City turned out pretty well.

Different director.

I'm hopeful, because the historical tale that they're trying to put a spin on is an amazing one. However, we've been burned by almost all of the sword and sandals movies.

True. I was at a pannel with the director and Frank Comic Con and Frank seemed happy with the end product. The director commented, "Look, don't try to do anything that isn't on the page. Just take what is on the page and put it on the screen. The source material is fantastic. If you stay true to it, it is hard to go wrong."
