THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

This movie is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Frank Miller. Neither Miller or director Zack Snyder claim this movie to historically accurate, in fact both admit to altering things in the legend to make them look "cooler".
Frank Miller says he was inspired to write his comic after seeing the 1962 film The 300 Spartans when he was a child.
This film was shot entirely in front of blue and green screens in a mere 60 days in Montreal, Canada. However the post-production of this film took over a year to complete, and the release date for this film was pushed back from summer 2006 to winter 2007.
This film caused quite a controversy with the Iranian government who claimed this film portrayed their ancestors, the Persians, in a negative light. After the film's release, headlines ran in Iranian newspapers with headlines like: "America Declares War On Iran" and the government declared this was nothing more than psychological warfare.
The scenes involving the Oracle in which it appears that she is floating were achieved by filming the actress underwater.
Director Zack Snyder put his son in this movie, he plays the young Leonidas who is seen learning how to fight.
