beautifully done... i am excited. and i'm not much of a movie guy.



"A thousand nations of the Persian Empire will descend upon you, our arrows will blot out the sun."

Then we will fight in the shade.

That is an EXCELLENT trailer for a movie.

The Battle of Thermopaly... SWEEEEEEEEET!

is this suppose to be a sequel/prequel to gladiator? that one lady with her boy in the wheat field looked straight out of that movie

I know Im a dork but has anyone else read the comic mini-series for 300? Frank Miller did it. Its pretty sick. Amazing Art Work.

Still can't top PUMAMAN!

Burning old man, singed all his flesh off...

[rkjunior303]

Based on the Frank Miller graphic novel, too. Gotta love it! I wonder how many people actually know the story of Thermopaly......

that goes without saying. it's sort of implied with every movie ever.

This will make the movie all the better. This book is one of the best I have ever read. Simply amazing, it is a great description on how the Spartans and their allies fought at the battle and the events leading up to it. The battle scenes described in this book out do the movie.

Gates of Fire

PS, I'm not a big novel reader, but I have read this book twice already.

I've read Gates of Fire, too. I will second chip on the descriptions of the battle scenes. If the actual battle was half as gruesome and brutal than it is described in the book, then it is hard to believe that the Greeks could get up every morning to go at it again.

I would skip Steven Pressfield's book about Alexander the Great, though. Zzzzzz.
