300: Written by Frank Miller (Sin City), Directed by Zack Snyder (1 Viewer)

Ooohh. This looks EPIC.

Like Sin City, it is as picturesque and also based on the original comic/graphic novel. The cinematography looks like it will always be a strong point. Directed by Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead).

Stars Gerard Butler (Phantom of the Opera) and Aussie actor David Wenham (Lord of the Rings, Van Helsing). It's also Rated R for High Level Battle Violence and some sexuality/nudity. (Horay!) Soundtrack also looks awesome, it is Nine Inch Nails somewhere in it.

It is about:

The 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae, where the King of Sparta led his army against the advancing Persians; the battle is said to have inspired all of Greece to band together against the Persians, and helped usher in the world's first democracy

Been looking forward to this one for a while, looks awesome. The latest trailer is brilliant!

The book it's based on is pretty cool too, even if it has taken a bit of freedom with history.

I know I'm going to have to see this movie. But I also know that I will hype it up sooooo much that I wont like it.

Don't worry, I did that with The Prestige for 4 months or more and I loved it.

Hell, I saw it twice.

And the trailer for this looks absolutely epic. As already mentioned.

 

[lengy]

Yeah I'm definately seeing this.

 

[icecreamdisco]

Yeah, a bunch of us are going to try and see it tomorrow. There are 4 cinemas within a 20 minute walking zone, so hopefully we'll be in luck. Plus at one of the cinemas you can buy tickets on three different floors of the shopping centre, so there's more chances!

People tend to think we're older than we are anyway.

*crosses fingers*

Actually, now that I know that the hot guy from Love Actually is in it, I think it might be worth my $9.30.
