After successfully skewering Hollywood's scariest movie (as two of the writers on "Scary Movie"), romantic comedy franchises ("Date Movie"), and Hollywood blockbusters ("Epic Movie"), writers/directors/producers Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer now set their sights on "300". The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing by leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of 13 - count' em, 13! -- Spartans to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include "Ghost Rider", "Rocky Balboa", the "Transformers", and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton).

Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, Peter Safran, Sean Maguire, Carmen Electra, Ken Davitian, Kevin Sorbo, Diedrich Bader

The poignant story of a young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. It is through the eyes of precocious and outspoken nine year old Marjane that we see a people's hopes dashed as fundamentalists take power – forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands. Clever and fearless, she outsmarts the "social guardians" and discovers punk, ABBA and Iron Maiden. Yet when her uncle is senselessly excecuted and as bombs fall around Tehran in the Iran / Iraq war, the daily fear that permeates life in Iran is palpable.

Chiara Mastroianni, Catherine Deneuve, Danielle Darrieux, Simon Abkarian, Gabrielle Lopes, Francois Jerosme
