Sppaaartttaaannnss!

Hey everyone! I decided to make a quick post about some news for the movie "300." which comes out early next year. The news is 3 or so days old so forgive me on the lateness. Thanks. "300" looks amazing...and I've been anticipating it since the day it was announced. Just the subject matter alone made me want to see it.

Here's the plot summary off of IMDB: "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."

The movie is based off a graphic novel by Frank Miller. I've never read the book but at the time the movie was announced I was learning about the Spartans and it's real interesting stuff. If you like history I definately suggest you check it out.

Back to the movie.."300," is directed by Zack Snyder who directed the "Dawn of the Dead," remake and is set to direct the big screen adaptation of "Watchmen." I thought the "Dawn of the Dead," remake was good..but a couple of days ago I saw a video that pretty much confirmed everything I thought about Zack Snyder... That he is going to be fucking HUGE.

Within the past couple of days a promo trailer for the flick came out and it pretty much solidified the fact that the movie is going to kick all sorts of ass. Click here for the awesomeness!

I'll have a totally off-topic but fun post tomorrow. I promise.
