From that website:

Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller’s (Sin City) acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.

Yeah, this could be a very good movie! And this is a gun related post, 'cause that's where the Molon Labe statement came from. And they had dang well include that in the movie!

COOL!
I'll have to see this.

Oh wow... I'll have to let my brothers and sisters know they need to watch this! Our BACA chapter uses a "Molan Labe" patch to sigify those who have been on a level 2...

Cool. The current issue of Military History also has a write up on the Battle of Thermopylae.

I read this graphic novel when it came out. Good stuff. I look forward to the movie, but realize that "Molon Labe" will no doubt become a somewhat trendy phrase, possibly.

It's better than "not in the face!"
