If everyone's gonna remove it from their sites, host it yourself. I'll try and find a better quality version, but for now, here you go.

Okay, that didn't really say anything about the movie. Looked like a spartan music video. I think the preview assumes you've read the graphic novel and so doesn't bother with a plot summary.

Ya pretty much. Thats the only trailer thats been released at all, and WB had it taken down practically everywhere a few hours after it was posted.

is this based on a game?

[inaki.livejournal.com]

Its based on a comic actually, which is based on the story of the Spartans.

The plot summary is the Battle of Thermopylae. Great story, you oughta read it.

[ilthuain.livejournal.com]

It's based on the opening of the Greco-Persian Wars' mainland invasion. The story of Sparta is pretty darn long, and goes on for several hundred years, although their power declines after the Peloponnesian war. There are several great books concerning the Battle of Thermopylae, best of which is Pressman's Gates Of Fire.

Miller's version, while not terribly true to history, is fuckin' awesome and I totally can't wait for this movie.

This is going to rock hard core. They took what they learned from making "Sin City" and applied it to this movie. Most of it was filmed on a green screen with CG backgrounds and lots of color tweaking, but I think the look of the movie is great.

Thank you SO GODDAMN MUCH for posting this, dude. I've been boners over this movie for a year now.

Okay, so there is some historical parallel then. Might be worth a watch.

They made a movie about this in the 60s as well, the 300 spartans, probably not worth much of a look, but it does exist.
This movie looks quite nice.
