300 trailer on line
Check it out quick,because it’s up on some Greek website we can’t even read.
The footage is toned down a bit from what we saw at Comic-con — no topless women and decapitated heads flying through the air propelled on spurts of gore — but it does look…impressive. Very impressive. Violent yet lyrical and heroic. Our only cavil is the Lisa Gerard-inspired soundtrack that must accompany all post-GLADIATOR sword-and-sandal epics, but that is to be expected.

Everything looks even more stunning when that NIN song kicks in halfway through.

I was going to watch it, but remembered that they showed it to us *3* times at Comic-con! I can wait until it hits the theaters after that, no matter how cool it looked.

It’s on iFilm as well. They call it an “unofficial trailer” Looks cool. I’d say it looks more like a play than some fancy special effects flick.

It *sounds* like a play, too: the sound quality on the dialogue is very flat and closely-mic’d - i.e., it sounds like it was recorded on a soundstage, which kind of ruins the illusion of the virtual locations. I’m guessing there’s still some looping and/or sweetening to come, to liven it up and add some ambience.
