![]() Because, really, you get so much from that character in the graphic novel, but also give him a bit more life and humanity than he has. I had done these things before, these kinds of characters, and it was how could I make it new and fresh, but still stay faithful to the graphic novel. It was really, really interesting to climb into that, but to be honest I didn't base it on any one particular guy. And it was all about the ideas that have to be instilled in troops and nations in order to get them to fight as effectively as they can against a superior force. In fact, it was the General who led the surviving slaves to beat the Spartans. and then somebody way back, right around the time of the Spartans. Patton was one and Sherman back in the Civil War. Like, three of the great generals going all the way back from Greek times to the Second World War. Did you pull on any specific characters from film or history for the role? GERARD BUTLER: I read a couple of really interesting books about going through history. GERARD BUTLER: I'd never seen it on the big screen, so I was slide over to the side of the stage, sayin' "Play it again! Play it again!" You know, I could watch it all day! QUINT: They kind of touched upon it on the panel, but I'm pretty curious. It felt great to me, but then I've never been to Comic-Con before. I haven't seen a reaction here at Comic-Con like that since they showed a scene from SPIDER-MAN 2 almost a year early. QUINT: The reaction to the footage was crazy. If you want another shorty 300 interview, you can read my chat with Zack Snyder here, where we talk more about 300 and a little bit about WATCHMEN, his next directorial outing. After seeing the 4 or so minutes they brought to the Con, 300 is now one of my most anticipated movies in any stage of development. ![]() The footage they showed at Comic-Con ( read about it here!!!) was absolutely jaw-dropping. This interview is with Gerard Butler, who stars as King Leonidis in Zack Snyder's adaptation of Frank Miller's 300, a graphic graphic novel. I'll do my best to keep up with them, but I have some pretty tough days ahead of me on the personal side of things, so don't be surprised if you don't get the rest until this weekend. I've been overwhelmed recently with pet health problems, so I've let these interviews slip back, unfortunately. Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with another of my shorty Comic-Con interviews.
