There is no one film that I have been waiting for longer than this one…

Just in case you haven’t heard, Zach Snyder’s epic 300, based on the graphic novel of the same title by Frank Miller (Sin City) is set to be released this week! Like a young man about to finally make out with his first girl, I am excited as all hell that I will be seeing this film tomorrow night. My hope is that it will live up to all of what I have built it up to be and it won’t turn out to be more like kissing your sister.

One thing is for sure, the film looks to be on a level of cool that we, the fans of epically cool cinema, have not seen in a long while. Zach Snyder, whom I spoke with a few weeks ago, has crafted a film that takes the imagery right from the page and plops it on screen, giving audiences a welcomed look into the mind of the great Frank Miller (who unfortunately, bears no relation to yours truly). You are assured that when (not if) you see this film that you will see something new, which is something hard to find these days. Thus, I am instantly hooked.

So what do you need to know about 300 before Friday comes around and all of your “cool” friends are dragging you out to see it? For starters, you should take a peek at the pulse pounding trailer, check out the Official Film School Rejects 300 Preview or even make a play at some merchandise with my Exclusive-ish 300 Extravaganza Giveaway. None of these would be a bad place to start.

Thankfully, I have already started — this is a project I have been following for more than a year now, and it is finally here. I say let’s get it started!

Who’s with me?
