Wired News interviews 300 director Zack Snyder on his new movie, in 300 Brings History to Bloody Life, and Snyder demonstrates some self-promotional talent:
Wired News: This is one crazy-looking movie.Zack Snyder: No one should ever take drugs, ever. I want to go on the record on that. But if someone was to slip you a mickey, I would immediately get into a taxi and go to an Imax screening of 300.

WN: In the film, a tiny bunch of European freedom fighters hold off a huge army of Iranian slaves. Everyone is sure to be translating this into contemporary politics.Snyder: Someone asked me, “Is George Bush Leonidas or Xerxes?” I said, “That’s an awesome question.” The fact they asked tells me that this movie can mean one thing to one person and something totally different to another.
Wired News also has an eerie-but-beautiful gallery of images from the film.
