Warner Bros. is offering anxious fans a behind-the-scenes look at the production of its feature film adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novel, 300. A production blog and video journal are now available at 300themovie.warnerbros.com, where PSP and video iPod owners can download an exclusive look at journal entry No. 3.
Having found success as an author of gritty comic-books, Frank Miller is becoming a force in Hollywood following the success of Miramax’s Sin City, which he co-directed with Robert Rodriguez. Warner Bros.’ take on his 300 is described as a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae, in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against the massive Persian army of Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). The cast will also include Dominic West (The Forgotten) and Richard Cetrone (Serenity).
300 is being directed by Zack Snyder, who helmed the 2004 remake of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead. The epic will feature visual effects by Meteor Studios and Hybride.
