Frank Miller’s 300
December 21st, 2006 by mojotek
I just watched the second trailer released for the upcoming film “300”, which is based off Frank Miller’s graphic novel of the same name. I swear I just creamed my pants. Both of the trailers gave me goose bumps. I saw the first one in a theater before a showing of Saw III (which sucked by BTW). I watched the whole thing slack-jawed and drooling.
I don’t know what it is about the cinematography that makes me want to see this movie so badly, but I’m hooked. I know it’s an adaptation of the Battle of Thermopylae, and doesn’t necessarily stick to the historical facts, but who the hell cares? If the trailers are any indication, this will probably be one of my favorite movies of the last few years. And I don’t say that lightly. Little Miss Sunshine was great, but it wasn’t on the same Epic Scale as Lord of the Rings.
It took forever for me to get a copy of the trailer from Apple’s website because my Quicktime kept messing up in FireFox. There’s a version on Youtube that I watched first, but it doesn’t give the trailer justice. But if you’re like me, and you had trouble getting to the movie at all, here’s the Youtube version after the jump:
If you really want to see the trailers in full HD glory, here are some direct links:

Trailer 1 - http://images.apple.com/movies/wb/300/300-tlr1b_h720p.movIn case you’re wondering, the bad ass song playing during the trailer is “Just Like You Imagined” by Nine Inch Nails, on the album Fragile. God I can’t wait until March 9th…
This movie is going to be SUPERDUPER BADASS. I can’t wait.
anonymous: Hell yeah it is… I might have to assassinate some movie executive to get an early copy.
So Saw III sucked, huh? I was too much of a wimp to see any of them so I read all the plot lines on Wikipedia (my new hobby) and they weren’t TOO horrible I guess.
Maybe they should have just published the script rather than filming it?
Geeyah, my Whitney face is HUGE on your blog. You can see the crack lines and everything!
Merry Christmas!
The trailer looks interesting I guess, but I didn’t go nuts when I saw it. That being said, I’ll definitely see the film when it comes out.
P.S. I won my fantasy football league. Hell yes!
Now go clean up that mess in your pants.
ngregory00: It wasn’t THAT bad… I just meant it wasn’t as good as the first two. My girlfriend actually called me out on saying it sucked, so I should probably recant.
Yeah, I do make those gravatars a bit large in the comments section, don’t I?
Rockyjay: Merry Christmas to you too!
JJ: Didn’t go nuts?? What the hell is wrong with you?
And I didn’t win either of my fantasy football leagues. Shaun Alexander let me down in both teams. I should have gone with LT.
Phoenix: I did… although I had to go through about half a roll of paper towels.
That looks awesome!
Anyway, Merry Christmas!!
Riss: Merry Christmas to you too Riss!
