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.

Look for more from the creators and cast of 300 right here on ComingSoon.net/SuperheroHype.com.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
