BodogFight and Bodog Entertainment Founder Calvin Ayre said, "We are thrilled to do this promotion for '300.' Our fighters are some of the most exciting in all of mixed martial arts and our BodogFight production values are extremely high, so helping to promote this impeccably produced film with its thrilling fight scenes is a perfect fit."

About "300" The Movie Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller ("Sin City") and Lynn Varley, "300" is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian Army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspires all of Greece to unite against their enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. Director Zack Snyder ("Dawn of the Dead") brings Miller's acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient tale.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents in association with Legendary Pictures and Virtual Studios, a Mark Canton/Gianni Nunnari Production, "300". Directed by Zack Snyder ("Dawn of the Dead"), the film stars Gerard Butler ("Phantom of the Opera"), Lena Headey ("The Brothers Grimm"), David Wenham ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy) and Dominic West ("The Forgotten"). The screenplay is written by Zack Snyder, Kurt Johnstad and Michael B. Gordon. "300" is produced by Gianni Nunnari ("The Departed"), Mark Canton, Bernie Goldmann ("Land of the Dead") and Jeffrey Silver ("Training Day") with Deborah Snyder, Frank Miller, Craig J. Flores, Thomas Tull, William Fay and Benjamin Waisbren serving as executive producers.
"300" will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. This film has been rated "R" for "graphic battle sequences throughout, some sexuality and nudity."
