Stylistically, the movie has a lot in common with "Sin City" and Zhang Yimou‘s " Hero." It has "Sin City"’s comic book looks and "Hero"’s use of bright, accenting colors. To give a little background, "300" is a retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae where 300 Spartans led by King Leonidas caused heavy casualties to the invading Persian army before being ultimately overwhelmed by their superior numbers. If the finished movie is anything like what’s promised in this teaser, it’s going to be an amazing piece of work. I know I was after watching the awesome teaser clip. Even if you are not familiar with Frank Miller‘s graphic novel " 300," but is a fan of the movie " Sin City," you ought to be excited about the forthcoming adaptation of that novel.
