And I enjoyed the film - I don't rank it as "great" but it borders on it at times.
My problem is the whole "what might have been" dilemma -
Gates of Fire - a fantastic historical novel by Stephen Pressfield (comparable to Killer Angels for Gettysburg) - was optioned for film. Michael Mann was set to direct. Bruce Willis AND George Clooney were set to star, there was some discussion over who would play Leonidas (probably Willis) and who would play Xerxes (probably Clooney) - but they didn't get everything wrapped up and Michael Mann made that terrible Miami Vice film, instead.
THAT would have been a Thermopylae film really worth watching, IMHO.
