We’ve covered Frank Miller’s ‘300′ on this blog several times over the course of the last few months. I still find it hard to believe within myself, that ‘300′ is one of Frank Miller’s works that I don’t own or have ever read. But even with that in mind, I just know that this is going to be one helluva amazing movie going experience. Dude, it’s Frank Miller! ‘Nuff said!
Ok enough of the fan-boy ramblings - though I do guarantee you will be warbling like a fan-boy when you see the new trailer. Check it out here folks! (Oh, and you gotta love Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Just Like You Imagined’ playing in the background! Well, I sure as hell did!)

There were the three hundred spartans but also a number of Helots(slaves) and warriors from Thebes I beleive. Closer to a thousand, but still outnumbered 250 to 1.
