They are making a motion picture after Frank Millers 300 graphic novel, which in turn is based on the Spartans last stand at Thermopylae.

The comic is very good and the first footage I\'ve seen looks promising too! I for one can\'t wait to see it!

P.s: sorry if it has already been posted somewhere on here...

hmm...I like Frank Millers stuff quite a bit, but have never heard of 300. I must be living in a cave. Looks very interesting.

wiccanpony, that is an AWESOME web site!

While some facts may be a bit inaccurate (for instance, Spartan men had more sex with men than Athenians) but it really has a gritty, vibrant feel to the storytelling.

I also like the page about Moby Dick (\"Moby Dick was modeled after Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan\")lol


[edit]
On further reading, this guy is hilarious!
Here\'s some stuff he has to say about the movie Starship Troopers:
*Right in the middle of all the killing and mayhem and monster blood Diz takes her shirt off. It\'s like the script writers were saying, \"OK, sorry nobody\'s been killed or maimed in the last seven minutes... here\'s some tits\", and you have to love that. Maybe the Star Wars prequels wouldn\'t have sucked so much ass if you got to see Natalie Portman\'s rack instead of a bunch of boring soliloquies about the nature of good and evil or midichlorians or other pretentious asshole rationalization of the plot crap.
*Space marines are just awesome. I\'m pretty sure it\'s impossible to make a movie about any kind of marines and have them not rock ass. I mean, even Imperial Stormtroopers are cool and all they did was bump into each other and fire their blasters in the wrong direction for three consecutive films.

300\'s an interesting choice for a movie.
But with all these movies starring kids coming out, lately, it may soon be time to expect a movie based on Marvel\'s second-worst idea ever... Power Pack.

I loved 300, as a comic, one of FM\'s best!
But....

If you want a great novelization of Thermopylae, go get Stephen Pressfield\'s \"Gates of Fire\". Absolutely amazing!
