Check out this teaser trailer for the film 300. The movie looks visually stunning and the trailer is a gem all around (content, editing, sound). My only fear is that the film will not live up to the trailer. The one glimmer of hope, though, is that I did not see one actor even remotely as attractive as Orlando Bloom (see the embarrassment that was Troy). Everyone I’ve shown this trailer to has said the same thing: “whoa.”

I was (pleasantly) surprised at the format of 300’s official web site. Most modern movie web sites hide the best content (production journals, making-of features) behind self-indulgent Flash animations; 300’s site is basically a blog.
