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.
Directed by Zack Snyder (”Dawn of the Dead” remake), “300″ is guaranteed to be more vicious than “Sin City” (we’re talking spears to the throats and other assorted bodyparts here, folks) and a bloody good time will be had by all when it hits theaters in 2007.
In the meantime, download the trailer for it by clicking here. It is, in a word, Friggin Awesome. Stills from the flick below:
