Frank Miller’s “300″ Gets 4 New UK Posters

Via Emprie Online, here are four new posters for Frank Miller’s “300″. I can’t get enough of this movie, I can’t help it. I want to see it so bad, so if anyone at the studio who is releasing this movie reads this, please, dear God, get me to an advanced screening. I’ll clean your house and wash your dog and even take your 90-year old Grandmother out for a movie and, maybe if she’s nice, a little sumthin’ sumthin’, if you know what I mean. (Wink!) But I digress. Four new posters, all UK versions, of this “so badass it’s hard to type when I think about how badass it’s going to be” movie.

Frank Miller’s “300″ Wallpapers

How much am I looking forward to Frank Miller’s “300″? Let’s put it this way: I haven’t wanted to see a movie this bad since “The Two Towers”, and it took me two weeks of that movie being released before I ended up seeing it! But with “300″, I am there for opening night. Yes, I want to see this movie that badly. Not only have I read Miller’s graphic novels, but I’ve studied the Greeks, and in particular found a fascination with the Spartans, since college. So in service of keeping this mind-boggling need to see “300″ in check, here are some nice wallpapers from the official site, which hosts trailers and promises more goodies.

Another “300″ Trailer Online

If you haven’t been ready for Frank Miller’s “300″ to hit the big screen yet, then you’re just not a very good geek. Over at their site, Yahoo! Movies is hosting what they are calling an “exclusive” trailer for the movie. I don’t know how exclusive it is, but you can rush over and take a gander at it. Yes, I did say gander. What of it, sucka? “Set in the midst of the Persian-Greco war during the Battle of Thermopylae, where Spartan king Leonidas led his army of 300 soldiers into battle against the invading Persian army. According to legend, their valor and sacrifice inspired all of Greece to unite against their Persian foe, leading to the origins of democracy.”

Frank Miller’s “300″ New Pics and Site

Set to hit theaters sometime in 2007, Frank Miller’s epic swords-and-sandals (or is that spears-and-sandals?) tale of Greeks versus Persians gets a new official site and some new pictures via SuperheroHype! Most of the images look like production art, but you know, they’re still pretty cool, especially considering that the movie was originally a graphic novel. And if you haven’t read the GN, you should definitely check it out; I guarantee you that it will be the best thing you’ll ever read. Or look at, actually, as the dialogue is pretty sparse.

Frank Miller’s “300″ Trailer Online

Even in the day when men were men (we’re talking phalanx fighting here, kids), the Spartans were friggin men. Such was life in Ancient Greece, back when some young punk name Xerxes and his gazillion men army marched in wanting to rule them and junk. Of course the Spartans, being the manly men they were, wouldn’t have none of it, and although there was only 300 of them, they took the fight to Xerxes at Thermypolae and stopped the gazillion army cold for several days. Enough time, as it turned out, for the rest of Greece to get their shite together and mount a united defense. The 300 Spartans, depicted in Frank Miller’s limited series comic books “300″, and now made into a movie of the same name, went on to lose the battle, but man did they kick some major ass and looked cool doing it.
