The film is about the famous battle at Thermopylae and is based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller. The director of the film is Zach Snyder who remade Dawn of the Dead a couple of years ago. It is filmed with the same techniques that Robert Rodriquez used on Sin City (IE using digital film cameras and green screen to create a digital set).



It should open in Spring 2007 (March 9th for the US, March 31st for the UK, I think). I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie because the trailer looks stunning.

Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, "300" concerns 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.







In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. Persian King Xerxes lead a Army of well over 1 000 000 (Persian king Xerxes before war has about 1 700 000 army) men to Greece and was confronted by 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and other Slave soldiers. Xerxes waited for 10 days for King Leonidas to surrender or withdraw left with no options he moved. The battle lasted for about 3 days and after which all 300 Spartans were killed. The Spartan defeat was not the one expected as a local shepherd named Ephialtes defected to the Persians and informed Xerxes of a separate path through Thermopylae, which the Persians could use to outflank the Greeks.







In 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes sends his massive army to conquer Greece. The Greek city of Sparta houses its finest warriors, and 300 of these soldiers are chosen to meet the Persians at Thermopylae, engaging the soldiers in a narrow canyon where they cannot take full advantage of their numbers. The battle is a suicide mission, meant to buy time for the rest of the Greek forces to prepare for the invasion. However, that doesn't stop the Spartans from throwing their hearts into the fray, determined to take as many Persians as possible with them.

hope this information helps below, the link is also below for your information.



300 is a graphic novel, written and illustrated by Frank Miller with painted colours by Lynn Varley. It depicts the Battle of Thermopylae and the events leading up to it from the perspective of Leonidas I, king of Sparta. The comic, however, takes great liberties in its narrative, for example depicting Xerxes I of Persia as a bald black man with piercings and the traitor Ephialtes of Trachis as a hunchback. The comic was particularly inspired by the 1962 film, The 300 Spartans, a movie that Miller watched as a young boy.



Every page of the comic was illustrated as a double-page spread. When the series was gathered into hardcover form, the individual pages were twice as wide as a normal comic. Miller's art style for this project was similar to his Sin City work, although the addition of consistent colour is an obvious difference.



300 was initially published as a monthly five issue comic book series by Dark Horse Comics, the first issue published in May 1998. the issues were titled Honor, Duty, Glory, Combat and Victory. The series won three Eisner Awards in 1999; 'Best Limited Series', 'Best Writer/Artist' for Frank Miller and 'Best Colourist' for Lynn Varley. The work was collected as a hardcover graphic novel in 1999.



The film 300, to be released in March 2007, was based directly upon 300, and is effectively a shot-for-shot adaption of the graphic novel.



Zack Snyder (who directed the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead) directs a film adaptation of the book with Gerard Butler starring as Leonidas.



Warner Bros. Interactive is creating a video game adaptation for the PSP to coincide with the 2007 release of the movie.
