Shouts to GABEROCKKA and the rest of the Flawless Hu$tle posse from Brooklyn. These dudes put me up FRANK MILLER’s new movie about to drop called 300. The film is shot in a similiar manner to MILLER’s ‘Sin City’ joint so I expect to see some of that noir shit in MILLER’s comic art brought to the screen. Dark, shadowy and expressive are all adjectives that I attribute to his art style. FRANK MILLER is the ERNEST HEMINGWAY of the comic book universe. Excuse me, graphic novel universe.
The movie 300 is faithfully adapted from MILLER’s graphic novel of the same name which is a retelling of the battle of Thermopylae in which the Greeks were eventually able to withstand the invading Persian army thanks to the heroism of only a handful of Spartan soldiers. It’s a fantastic story with an emphasis on the fantasy part. I won’t go to the film looking for a history lesson. FRANK MILLER loves gore and mayhem. If the graphic novel is any indication, and I know it is, there will be a whole lot of mayhem on the screen.
Good shit. I found this trailer at iFilm that looks like it sums up what the movie is all about. Holler back at me if your’e down to catch the nerdcore midnight show in Manhattan.
I just saw the trailer for this. It looks pretty good. SIn City was insane so I am sure there will be more graphic violence and mayhem in this one.
damn…
Wow, that shit looks DOPE!
I gaurantee the history will be sketchy (for one thing, they had monsters in there lol… and in the “real” battle, the Greeks had a lot more than 300, and the Persians had a lot less than 1 million), but like you said, as long as you don’t go looking for a history lesson.
fire…
This looks really badass…but we’ll see what the reviews say…
Fuck a review.
This shit will be fire because Frank Miller’s comics look great on screen.
Sin City was his.
And Batman Begins was based on his classic Year One comic.
I’m surprised you didn’t know about this DP. I thought you were up on that nerd tip.
Goes torrent shopping……
^ “This shit will be fire because Frank Miller’s comics look great on screen.”
FALSE!
I’m prolly the BIGGEST Miller stan up in this piece and a lil’ known secret is that Miller penned the screenplay for Robo Cop 2 back in the day, and we all know what a shit sammich that was.
Also, the flicks “Daredevil” and “Elektra” ( a character Miller invented) were based on Millers’s work. Um, no comment.
Still, I’m down for that nerdcore midnight show in Manhattan. Nullus.
Yeah Miller himself wasn’t pleased with any of those movies. With SIN CITY I think he had creative control which is why it came out so much better.
Any body ever catch REIGN, pretty wicked adaption of greek history..
Mornin`
