More from the Set of 300
Filed under: Action, Drama, Fandom, Movie Marketing
The fourth installment of the 300
video diary is now up and, though these are never going to be as enjoyable as the (much, much shorter) missives that issue from the set
of Hot Fuzz, they remain fairly informative - if you're interested in the movie, I mean. So far we've learn
how director Zack Snyder feels about the Spartans (they're
"badass"), about the film's look (basically, it's a big fake rock
with a whole lot of CGI), and about the training they put the actors through
in order to make them comic-book buff (it sucks sucks sucks). The new piece is about costume design, and
it's sort of fascinating - we rarely hear about this aspect of filmmaking, and it's cool if you're a dork like me to
hear about all the consideration that goes into, say, deciding what color the Greeks are going to wear.Even though shooting really seems to be moving along, since the movie's being shot against a blue screen, 300 is going to spend about 500 years in post-production; it's not due out in until 2007.

Hate to say it but King Kong really opened up the Pandora's Box of web diaries leading to this. In the case of 300 it actually detracts quite a bit from the interest level I have for the film because these diaries are just so *dull.*

i hope 300 does good. and i hope snyder gets ahold of watchmen. i think he'll do good with it. even though the book should be done in a HBO-like maxi-series...but that's just my opinion...
