300 premiere
Mar. 6 - ''300,'' a new film depicting a famous ancient battle debuts in Los Angeles, draws comparisons to the current war in the Middle East.
Telling the story of the Greece in the 5th century B.C., ''300'' delves into the world of the Spartan warriors, who are trained from birth to fight, to never retreat and never surrender. The film's hero, Spartan king Leonidas (Gerard Butler), knowingly leads 300 of his finest soldiers to their deaths to protect their country in the Battle of Thermopylae, which some say is a direct comparison to President Bush's decision to continue occupation of Iraq.
The film is the second of author Frank Miller's graphic novels to make it to the big screen, after Robert Rodriguez's 2005 film ''Sin City,'' and "300" takes on a similar approach to filmmaking; like ''Sin City,'' most of ''300'' was filmed in front of a greenscreen.
