300 - What did you think?

Thank God !

I think Micheal Mann would be quite good. He's done period action before - The Last Of The Mohicans - and the theme of the story appeals to his sensiblilities. His film work, like Mohicans, The Jericho Mile, Thief, Manhunter, Heat, Ali, Collateral - they are about individual(s) of great talents who want to live in the world on their own terms, but are often forced or pulled into causes or situations where they must defend others, sometimes as a price for freedom. Like the Spartans, finally stirring to action as a means to get all of Greece to unite against the Persians, though for the first 300 it means death.

In all honesty i think the best comic book movie would be a rendition of the 18 issue Supreme power series.

I would quite like to see that as well..... as long as they don't f**k it up by making it into another child-friendly comic movie

Although most people who watched it may just think it's a new take on Superman.... which it pretty much is

Michael Mann was supposed to direct Gates Of Fire, but he got caught up with other projects, dammit. Now how can it be made, with 300 hitting theatres first?

Damn.

I was really looking forward to the Gates of Fire film as opposed to 300 (which is coming out first... considering Gates of Fire may not even come out at all, lol).

But seriously, how are they going to make 300 into a good movie? There's not enough material.
