300

So a while ago I saw this preview for the movie 300. Which I have to say sounds pretty good. So anyway I was doing some checking up on it and I found out some cool stuff. The movie is based on an actual battle called the Battle of Thermopylae of which happened in 480 BC (Full story here) the whole thing is actually pretty cool and I totally understand why you would make a movie of it. Anyway, not totally sure how Frank Miller is going to interpret the story, but go over to Wikipedia and check out what really happened.
