The photos look very cool and the film looks amazing too. Oddly, I'm pretty sure you missed 300 out of your preview of the big films of 2007 in your latest edition - tut tut!!! Can't wait for it none-the-less. 2007 looks like a great year for big movie productions - bring it on!!!!!

The graphic design on this is lovely and they make for ver cool posters but I still can't shift the feeling that the film just looks wrong. A lone opinion, I know. And he's saying "tonight, we dine in hell" like it's a good thing. He won't get anywhere with that attitude.

The images on the posters look great, ripped abs a-plenty. Although, allowing a moment's nit-picking, the font looks a tad clumsy, as if the poster were a fan work-up. I'd still hang them on my wall though!

I was thinking that yesterday too! Although technically it was a preview for the summer months, so 300 misses out, being a March release. I'm just hoping it gets full coverage in one or both of the next two editions of Empire. A front cover by any chance? Please?!

Fair play to ya, but i reckon exactly the opposite,..i think 300 will be if not the best, then definetely the coolest film of 2007. A bold statement i hear you cry,..well yes it is, but i can tell you that the the graphic novel is brilliant as are the two trailers i have seen, so if you like films that make you sit back in your chair wide eyed saying nothing but "coooooooool" every so often and think a bross between Braveheart and Sin City is a good thing,.... trust me, you're gonna love it!

"You will not enjoy this!" isn't something you'd want written on a poster designed to promote your film to its potential audience, is it? I saw the trailer with Pan's Labyrinth, it looks incredible, backed with a bit of NIN too! Nice.

"You will not enjoy this!"
Whatever they're trying to do with that line it's just a terrible tagline.

Agreed, "You will not enjoy this" is not a very clever tag line for a poster, and come to think of it, as far as tag lines go, what i have seen has left me puzzled. Apart from the above, there is another awful line at the end of the new trailer..."we're in for one wild night!",...i mean this line sounds like it belongs in trailer to a John Hughes movie! But on the other hand i love the whole "Tonight we dine in Hell" and "THIS IS SPARTA" malarkey. I guess the jury's out, but i'm looking forward to 300 big time!!

Just for the folk that think some of the trailer lines are a bit cheesy....most of them were infact reported by Herodoctus, (ancient Greek scribe guy), as being accurate or supposedly said at Thermopylae. The lines about 'dining in Hell', (or Hades if we are being picky), 'fighting them in the shade', and the 'one wild night' are all there in ancient text. And anyway this is based on the FM graphic novel, and yes those lines are in there too.

I think these are a little lack luster to be honest.
Anybody know what agency did these

Anybody noticed how these posters follow the exact same formula as the Sin City ones? A series of posters each one focusing on one central character each, all of them in an iconic pose, each one with one of the best lines that hints as to the characters nature without actually giving anything away. For those uneducated on the subject Frank Miller wrote both Sin City and 300. And although these posters do kick ass visually they are pretty lazy.
