Oh, my friends, the things I read so that you don’t have to.

Picture it: A dramatic re-telling of the Battle of Thermopylae. Scantily clad, over-developed actors. Stunning art direction paired with film-school dialogue.

“Hey,” you say, “I’ve already seen 300.  That’s last year’s news.” But, wait. This is new!

Michael Ninn brings you The Four:

It is 480 BC and the 300 elite soldiers of Leonidas have been destroyed by the Persian army. As the Grecian forces invade Sparta, four surviving Spartan widows of the 300 swear revenge for their husbands and unite to assassinate Persian God-King Xerxes.

Strangely, though this is straight-up porn, the trailer shows less flesh than what I remember from 300. It also doesn’t leave 300’s singular homoerotic/homophobic pit in my stomach. Unless bad acting is against your workplace policy, it might even be safe for work, though I wouldn’t push it.
