One of the upcoming spring season’s most anticipated movies is 300, a sword-and-sandal action movie event based on the Frank Miller graphic novel and shot mostly with live-actors against green-screens à la Sin City.300 loosely follows the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C., in which 300 Spartan soldiers battled an onslaught force of millions of Persian warriors.
It stars Gerard Butler (The Phantom of the Opera) as King Leonidas – and looks pretty hot…in a video game-ish kind of way. I thought it was a video game adaptation, actually.
Anyway, I don’t suppose 300 will be a pinnacle of filmmaking, but I have a thing for underdog stories set against over-stylized photography that feature insanely ripped warriors.
How about you?
Honest now….
