'300 DVD' to Highlight GN Art
Home Media has revealed some of the elements that director Zach Snyder hopes to include in the DVD edition of his adaptation of Frank Miller's 300 graphic novel. Chief among them will be an interactive feature involving a symbol that would appear in the frame -- viewers could click on the symbol and compare the visual from the movie with the panel from Miller's graphic novel. This feature should only increase the public's interest in the 300 graphic novel, which is already the number one best-selling graphic novel in both units and dollars in year-to-date sales in the bookstore market.
Over the past two years the DVD release of both Sin City and V for Vendetta (two graphic novel-based films that inspired similarly strong sales of the original graphic novel source material) created a second burst of graphic novel sales. Retailers should definitely pay attention to the DVD release of 300 and plan promotions involving the graphic novel and The Art of 300.
In addition to the interactive feature linking the movie and the graphic novel, the 300 DVD will also feature a number of deleted scenes including shots of giant Persian archers with midgets on their backs involved in close combat with the Greek fighters. There are also a few deleted scenes involving the traitor Ephialtes that will be available on the DVD, but there are relatively few deleted scenes since Snyder followed the graphic novel so closely.
