300 Teaser Debuts at Comic-Con
Source: Edward Douglas
July 22, 2006


At Warner Bros.' presentation for Zack Snyder's movie version of Frank Miller's graphic novel 300, they debuted a clearly R-rated teaser of footage from the movie. Miller's comic mini-series is based on the 5th Century battle of Thermopylae where 300 Spartans faced and held back thousands of soldiers in the Persian army.

After the introduction of director Snyder, actors Gerard Butler (King Leonidas) and David Wenham (Delios)--both of whom walked out to screams and squeals--and 300 creator Frank Miller, wearing a fetching straw hat.

The teaser starts with King Leonidas' cry of "Spartans, tonight we dine in hell!" with a title card saying "From Frank Miller's graphic novel" before getting into a brief history of Leonidas' life from birth, where the voice-over explains how Spartans are weeded out at birth if they're not up to snuff. It also shows Leonidas as a boy, being trained as a fighter and facing the giant wolf which would be pivotal in his rise to King.

There's a sample of what to expect in the battle scenes and a gorgeous scene of Persian warriors riding across the fields supposedly towards Spartan. A lot of the scenes are shown in slow-motion, but Snyder also uses this neat trick of speeding up and slowing down the film speed to make it look rather surreal. The teaser showed a longer scene showing Leonidas pushing the Persian messenger into the pit in Sparta, followed by a steamy sex scene between Butler's Leonidas and Queen Gorgo, played by Lena Heady, as well as a glimpse of the Oracle, wearing a rather revealing robe.

The rest of the teaser was made up of short shots of the other characters from the book, scored to Nine Inch Nails to give it a modern feel, including a shot of the Persian king Xerxes (played by Brazil's Rodrigo Santoro), the blind Persian executioner with swords for arms, a couple shots of the hunchback Ephialtes (Andrew Tiernan) and a brief glimpse of a new character designed just for the movie, a Persian giant played by the big actor who faced Brad Pitt in the opening sequence of Troy. There also was a brief glimpse of a severed head flying through the air, probably also Leonidas' work, and an armored rhino.

The most impressive scene in the teaser was probably the final battle sequences that show the Spartans in action against the Persians, with one memorable exchange being a Persian telling Leonidas that their "arrows will block out the sun" and Leonidas responding that they'll "fight in the shade." (Another memorable scene from the book present in the teaser shows the Spartans fighting a bunch Persian warriors towards and over the edge of a cliff.)

The teaser was a great synopsis of the historic tale with many scenes looking exactly like the way they're depicted by Miller in the graphic story. Although Snyder said that a lot of scenes were unfinished, the crowd ate it up, cheering and applauding until they agreed to show it again.

So where is it online? When will it be online?

[Darthphere]

I dont have that info.

[WallCrawl]

So where is it online? When will it be online?

If someone bootlegged the footage, it should be up online in about a day or two. If not, then we'll probably have to wait for an official release.

[green]

Damb, I want to see this footage.

[Hunter Rider]

Me Wants!!:mad:

[superadam87]

I must say... I had never heard about "300" until I saw the Gerard Butler advertised blog on apple.com

All I can say is that I'm going to a book store soon and I'm reading it... Eventhough I don't want to spoil anything for the movie.

The teaser was incredible, given that some stuff still wasn't finished. I loved it. It looks like a great movie.

[MaskedManJRK]

I WANT. BAD. :eek::up:

[Lady Leonidas]

If anyone hears about the "300 teaser footage" being available for viewing... please post!!

I can't wait for this movie to be released!! :up:

Between the history and Gerard Butler... I will be a very happy camper! :)

Lady Leonidas :xmen:

[Mentok]

David Wenham is a God.

[buddha182]

I doubt it'll be online... It won't get approved by the MPAA in the form it's in. There were 2 scenes of full frontal nudity and one scene of a guy's severed head flying through the air and lots of brutality and blood flying... The MPAA won't "approve it for all audiences." There will obviously be a tweaked and recut one on the internet sometime in the near future as the real teaser trailer.

[Darthphere]

Guy frontal nudity or female frontal nudity?

[-rc2k-]

Female frontal nudity...and in slow motion!

[MaskedManJRK]

Female frontal nudity...and in slow motion!

...Now I REALLY want to see this! :eek::up:

[Lady Leonidas]

Well... sounds like the trailer is a hummer...

Hey... the frontal nudity may be female... but the guys are nearly naked a lot of the time...

Lady Leonidas :xmen:

[Nivek]

Thanks Nivek.:up:

[xwolverine2]

sounds like an action packed porno

[antmanx68]

I want to see some finished footage.... really really bad.

[Horrorfan]

sounds like an action packed porno

aren't all pornos action packed, if you think about it?


You have an invading conquer trying to get into the fort

theres a bit of struggle as the conquere approaches the hairy army

after a tough period of wrestling, the conquer finally breaches the defences


and it reaches a climax

[Darth Elektra]

I want to see some finished footage.... really really bad.

I know... when are we going to get a trailer?

[Lady Leonidas]

I know... when are we going to get a trailer?

Good question!

From what I hear, I guess they would have to really "tone-down" the one they showed at the Convention.

It depends, most trailers are PG, but I've seen quite a few trailers carrying an R rating just for the trailer itself. However, most of the time it's for the thematic content and sexuality, not violence or explicit nudity. So they'll probably still have to do some selective editing before they release the trailer.

[Darth Elektra]

So the Trailers at Comiccon arn't MPAA reviewed?

Doesn't the MPAA have to review the trailer before it can be shown on a theater screen?

yea... but this is Comic-Con. it's a convention, they can show what they want because it's their event that you're in and you're being shown "clips" or whatever they want to show you from the movie... there's no MPAA regulations there.

[Darth Elektra]

Very Terrible!

But from what I could see about the movie it looks absouletly KICK ASS! This could be the one of the best movies made in years!v Great music!

[antmanx68]

well im officially more psyched AND frustrated. WARNER BROTHERS, GET THIS ONLINE IN SOME BIG ASS QUICKTIME!

[Darthphere]

Yeah, worst bootlegger, EVER!

[kytrigger]

did he fall asleep half way through or somehting? Other than that it looked good i guess. they have cool foreheads...

[antmanx68]

if you've ever tried to snag some "exclusive" footage at this kind of thing you'd understand completely.... its not fun. Especially when they give you notice that anyone caught recording it in anyway will be prosecuted or fined or whatever. Hell, the Warner Brothers presentation this year in Vegas was so tight they have metal detectors and people searching bags and stuff, absolutely NO recording stuff allowed at all.

[buddha182]

that's exactly what I said the moment after finishing watching the trailer (while there at Comic-Con seeing it live)

btw, the song it is Nine Inch Nails - Just Like You Imagined

w00t! finally all of you people even get a slight glimpse of how awesmoe it was...!!

[Darth Elektra]

[Colossus24]

The parts that I could see look amazing

[neemer5]

ahhh wait except for the dood standing in the way... then the fact that the camera eventually points upwards into NOTHINGNESS!! wtf?~!

The only thing that did was make me want to see the trailer even more now.

[Colossus24]

Did anyone else think that the wolf looked suspiciously like G'mork from Neverending Story?

[green]

The parts that I could see look amazing

:up:
Agreed.

:mad:
Agreed.

[buddha182]

phew... thank god i've already seen it!!

what you could see is by far not the best parts... tho I do love the "Spartans, tonight we dine in hell!!!!" part. there's plenty more fighting and everything later on that is just awesome that happens right when his camera tips up.

Unfortunately, I am told that I can't post the teaser trailer for all of you to see because of its violence, blood and nudity. Damn MPAA.

However, due to the incredible response of everyone at the Comic Con presentation, I am now able to release a theatrical teaser trailer in the next month or so.

Thanks again for your support and I will keep you posted.

D*mn, that does suck that you can't show the teaser you/we want to see.

[Darthphere]

Ive seen people release Unrated trailers before, more recently with Slither.

[Darth Elektra]

Yea, Im not sure why they dont leak it to someone to post it up. Also GrandMa's Boy did a unrated trailer too.

[Hunter Rider]

so did the recent TCM prequel

"in the next month or so" means it is possible the trailer may come out by the end of September, or it may take a little longer.

[xwolverine2]

Nope. No better bootlegs have popped up, and the official teaser hasn't come out yet.

BLOOD!
........

[WallCrawl]

A month has passed, so it's obviously been delayed. He didn't really give a definite date though.

[coco]

He said "in a month or so" so as you say it was never definite, but we're still in the September October timeframe of that. I'd guess it will be late September rather than sooner

[swifty]

that was incredible, I hope it does better than SinCity.

[xwolverine2]

i demand a confirmation

[khoapham]

this is the internet! you can post anything you want on here! i got the paris hilton porn on the internet! i can handle blood, guts, and definitely nudity! give me my comic con trailer damnit!!!
