| Epic war movie 300 makes UK debut |
Stars of the epic movie 300 have turned out for its UK premiere in London's Leicester Square. The films depicts a small group of Spartan soldiers holding off a huge Persian army which has invaded Greece.
Gerard Butler, who plays king Leonidas, was accompanied by Lena Headey who plays Queen Gorgo. The cast were met by a group dressed as Spartan warriors. The film has been called "psychological warfare" by Iranian authorities, but it has broken US box office records.
'Big and risky' Glasgow-born Butler, 37, said: "I used a lot of the Scotsman in my role because there is a great similarity in what goes on inside the warriors of old that has been very much lost.
"I read the story, I learnt about the Spartans. I was doing it for Greece but I was doing it for Scotland as well."
Fellow British star Headey, 33, said: "It feels great being involved with something that has been so well received.
"To play a woman who isn't relied on to be the weeping, sorrowful woman and to be strong and stand with the men in something so big and risky is great." |
