Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller's (Sin City) acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.
I'm really looking forward to this movie. Go here for the production blog and video journals.

I read about this, but since I was never a huge fan of Frank Miller (although I own Sin City) , I will just have to wait.
I'm not as much of a fan of Frank miller as I am of the subject matter. This is one of my favorite time periods in history.
