‘300′ Gets Rousing Response in Berlin

Just wait until you all see this movie!

I had the pleasure of seeing 300 already and it is fantastic (hear a little more on our Podcast Episode #39), but more on that as we get closer to the release date and all of our coverage, but in the meantime I have just received word that the film was received extremely well at the Berlin Film Festival as Warner Bros. just sent over this news along with the pics you see below.

“300,” one of the highlights of the Berlin Film Festival, had its world premiere last night and received a standing ovation in the sold out Berlinale Palast.. The film, inspired by the work of graphic novelist Frank Miller, was attended by director Zack Snyder and cast members Gerard Butler (King Leonidas) and Rodrigo Santoro (Xerxes). The screening was interrupted again and again by spontaneous applause and cheers from the 1700 strong audience. Said Zack Snyder: “It was awesome to be at the Berlin Film Festival World Premiere and experience the amazing reaction.”

I hate you for seeing this early. I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve read the book Gates of Fire, which apparently was going to get a movie adaptation, but it was so amazing that I read it straight through. Now, I can’t wait to see Frank Miller’s version.

However, it isn't considered one of the top ten films
I am willing to bet a bunch of people get killed in this one...

Seems there is some bad blood flowing somewhere
Sounds like it will be just as bad as I imagined
Only three movies today
People seem to be ignoring this possibility

A melancholy slice of life definitely not for everyone

I would say Leo is an official contender
How do you feel about the Cuban revolutionary?
'Ballast,' 'Frozen River' and 'Rachel' still look strong independently
Better get out there and get one last theatrical experience
