One of the coolest move trailers I've seen

Just to be more historically accurate, they delayed the Persian army until a Greek army could be formed, they still lost the battle and all died, however the time they bought meant that the Greeks eventually won the war.

EDIT: lol, looks like they did a little "embelishing" of the facts, and the "facts" are likely embelished from reality since they were written by Greek historians. Still, if the battle scenes are well done I can suspend disbelief and still be impressed. IF they get to comical though you just lose all connection to the storyline.
 
Here is a link that compares movie trailer screens with comic panels. here It looks like they're doing a faithful job visually. :thumbsup:
 
Looks seriously cool.

I think one to get on HD 😀

Wait a tick. For some reason this trailer is all in one color for me 😵 Some scenes are in all blue, and others in yellow. I can kind of tell what's going on though. The original trailer that was posted here before that was on some foreign site worked for me. 😕 My comp must not like quicktime.

History major/buff? At least someone corrected it...

EDIT: Costumes for the Greeks were so off...
 
This is the stroy that got me into History at a very young age.

I dressed up as a spartan when I was much younger. It was 100% authentic, and it took days to make.
 
My friend sent me the following e-mail in an update about what he's been up to these days:

"I was shooting a movie called '300'. It's a fantastical telling of the ancient (true) battle of the Spartans and the Persians. Our version is less History Channel and more History on Crack and Steroids. If you're interested/bored you could check out

http://300themovie.warnerbros.com/index.html "

He included this picture of him posing with a pile of "dead bodies" from the set.

I was a little disappointed to learn that it's a remake of a Frank Miller (Sin City) graphic novel and not a movie version of the book "Gates of Fire," but regardless, I will be going to see it with my husband.

About 300 spartans who kill off like 500,000 persian warriors at a wedge

One of the most famous battles of all time, and I would love a great movie about it. However, the statistics you quote of "About 300 spartans who kill off like 500,000 persian warriors at a wedge" is pretty inaccurate, historically speaking.

Same here. I have a feeling this will be a pretty big let down after that book.
