Yes! A fellow fanboy!
For those who don't know, 300 is the movie adaptation of Frank Miller's five-issue graphic novel series of the same name. The story is based on (the first) <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae' target='_blank'>Battle of Thermopylae</a>, one of the most legendary battles in military history.
On a side note, Warner Bros. is also releasing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, also sometime in March (in the US at least). Thing about this one is, <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhRsqOlFjDM&eurl=' target='_blank'>it's in pure CG</a>.
Looks like WB is going to have a field day lol.
EDIT: Additional information on the movie: like Sin City, every scene was supposedly shot on bluescreen. Seems like there's a real effort to preserve the feel of the original work. Which is good.
Also, Gerard Butler has a remarkable resemblance to the illustrated King Leonidas.
Man I'm all over this movie. Haha.
