Just saw this yesterday at ar15.com. I hope it's faithful to history.

Are they going to make all the Spartans gay?

I'm sure that it will be just as faithful to history as the other recent Greek epic, Alexander

"Stranger, go tell the Spartans that we lie here in obedience to their laws." Epigram carved on the tomb of Leonidas's Three Hundred.

Richard Egan was not a great actor by any stretch, but he was very good in The 300 Spartans.
