This movie is going to be sweet. My brother in law was raving about the book "Gates of Fire" a few years back which was about this epic battle between 300 Spartans vs The might of the Persian army. Frank Miller adapted that story in his own visual artistic style and now this great story is coming to the big screen.
I read Gates of Fire and it was a fantastic story! I haven't seen Miller's GN. Either way I also hope this film is great! Its an epic story! I really hope it works! (And isn't another Oliver Stone Presents: Alexander on Brokeback Mountain.

I think the Alexander & Troy movies being made is what killed the "Gates of Fire" book from being adapted to the big screen. It was rumored to be in production a few years back around the time Alexander and Troy were being filmed .
That could turn out to be a good thing though, the delay of adapting "Gates". Frank Miller's adaptation of his GN (same story) could be a much better version since in basics, it's the same story.
Can't wait for it.
