300 - comic book to screen

March 14, 2007 | Links

Like Sin City before it, 300 is a movie based on a Frank Miller comic (which itself is based on a historical battle between Greek and Persian armies). And, like Sin City before it, the film makers spent a lot of time making sure the movie captured the essence of the comic - even making bits of the film emulate actual panels from the printed version.

300 is a film I have been looking forward to for some time now - in fact ever since the first trailer - and it’s released soon. Hoorah! You can see more comparisons between comic and film on Flickr.

    It is a great movie. I like it way more than Sin City.

    Im a graphic designer, however had not really seen much of the comic, but thought the final credit sequence didn’t do justice to the film. Am i just ignorant to the way the comic was illustrated and typeset? is that bad typography and photoshopped blood taken from the comic?

    I don’t remember the ending but I know the blood splattered logo is straight from the comic.

    I’m also a graphic designer (and graphic novel fan) and I thought the end credit sequence was the only decent thing in the whole film!
