300

About a year ago a friend loaned me Frank Miller's 300, an oddly-sized graphic novel depicting a viseral and blood-soaked tale of 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.

Well Zack Dawn of the Dead Snyder is directing what looks like to be one of the better films slated for next year- a movie version of this graphic novel.

Visit the official site here, and mark your calander for March 30th 2007 to go and see 300.
