What does it mean to turn one of the great graphic novels of our time into a major motion picture?
In 1998, Frank Miller shook the comics world with his groundbreaking series
300. Marking Miller's first collaboration with watercolor artist Lynn Varley (
Ronin, The Dark Knight Returns) in over a decade,
300 was a gritty reimagining of a battle in which three hundred Spartan soldiers fought to hold back the entire Persian army. The series won five Eisner Awards, including Best Limited Series, Best Writer/Artist (Miller), and Best Colorist (Varley).
300: The Art of the Movie takes you behind the scenes as director Zack Snyder (
Dawn of the Dead) adapts
300 to the silver screen. With two hundred pages of production photos, concept art, and much, much more,
300: The Art of the Movie is sure to delight Miller fans and movie buffs alike.
"I knew this wasn't another typical sword-and-sandals movie, or a seven-hour-long lesson in historical accuracy. There are dozens of ways to retell the Battle of Thermopylae, but to adapt the story as presented in
300, I knew this was as much about bringing Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's visual style to life, as it was about the historical event itself
."
