Comics Legend Frank Miller's "300" Adapted For Film

300, Frank Miller's Historical Epic about Sparta's battle with the legions of king Xerxes of Persia is being made into a hollywood movie. pencils and inks by miller. color by lynn varley

It seems tensiltown can't get enough of comics legend Frank Miller. After the success of Robert Rodriguez's adaptation of Miller's Sin City series of graphic novels, the movie industry has decided to strike while the iron is hot. 300 will adapt the graphic novel of the same name, written and drawn by miller, with breathtaking color by his wife, Lynn Varley (note to self: break into comics industry, become living legend, marry brilliant comic book colorist, thus saving myself time AND money...). The story recounts the ancient battle in which 300 Spartans die valiently defying the Persian army, inspiring all of Greece to rise up against the unstoppable march of King Xerxes.

Anyways, as a true acolyte of Miller's, i figured it was my job to hip you to this impending Miller joint, which is due out in 2007 . peep the trailer here. i don't know if it will be a great movie or anything, but the graphic novel was the bomb, so i'll be in attendance, if only to scream on it... it will be shot by Dawn of the Dead director Zack Snyder. i will leave you to make of that what you will...
holla!
