Ever since I took a look at the 300 graphic novel on John’s coffee table, I have been eager to see this movie. Ever visual about it seems to just drool with the style of the book. Now we get a peek at some of the posters. I can’t say I am excited about them, but it doesnt dampen my excitement to see this movie.
Feast your eyes on three of the main characters – Gerard Butler’s Leonidas, King of the Spartans, who launches a desperate effort to stop an army of 250,000 with a force of 300; Rodrigo Santoro’s chain-attired Xerxes, the Persian Emperor; and Lena Headey’s feisty and firey Queen Gorgo, Leonidas’ wife and herself part of the war effort. And as if that weren’t enough, you also get a glimpse of one of the film’s crazy Persian warriors, the gigantic chained “über-Immortal”, the scariest member of Xerxes’ personal guard, the 10,000 Immortals
Go Here to see the images they are talking about.
The characters in the posters are all very appealing and true to the gritty style of the book. That part I really dont like so much is the splash motivation blurb spewed across the sky behind them. Personally I would have liked to have seen the simple stylized 300 title behind them with a simple character name hovering subtly below.
What do you think? Are they too much? Too little? Just right?
