Gerard Butler: ‘300′ Movie Photocall

Gerard Butler: ‘300′ Movie Photocall

Burly Scotsman Gerard Butler and Brazilian hottie Rodrigo Santoro promote their much-anticipated movie 300 on Wednesday afternoon with director Zack Snyder during the 57th Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) in Berlin, Germany.

If you missed it, be sure to check out these PECtacular movie stills from 300. The film opens in theaters nationwide (and on IMAX) on Friday, March 9.

Gerard, 37, starred in 2004’s The Phantom of the Opera. Rodrigo, 31, starred in 2003’s Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle and currently stars on ABC’s hit drama Lost (Er, I think he’s still alive). Be sure to check out more pictures of Gerard and Rodrigo.

UPDATE :: You’ll be pleased to know that 300 received a standing ovation in the sold out Berlinale Palast last night. The screening was interrupted again and again by spontaneous applause and cheers from the 1700 strong audience. Said director Zack Snyder: “It was awesome to be at the Berlin Film Festival World Premiere and experience the amazing reaction.”

I was amazed to see that Xerxes was being played by Rodrigo.

In makeup he looks unrecognizable.

Gerard IS the most ruggedly handsome actor out there today. Tall, dark and extremely handsome. He is ALL man. Oh baby!!

vince noir @ 02/15/2007 at 12:18 pm

hmm they are both so yummy, i cant decide which i like better.. i think its gerard, isnt he sean connerys son or something??

Yolanda @ 02/15/2007 at 12:20 pm

He should have been Bond.

the real tita @ 02/15/2007 at 12:36 pm

#8: Yolanda, ITA with you. I’ve been touting his name ever since I heard they wanted a new Bond. Daniel Craig would have made a good villain for Bond but the man himself should have been Gerard. He’s even got it down to that burr that Sean Connery had. Funny, but I never saw his name on the list.

Oh, Gerard’s got Beowulf too. I wonder when they’ll be showing that.

The Beowulf he was in was garbage. Don’t waste your time on it. It’s a mess.

There’s an animated Beowulf coming out anyway that’s got real talent behind it. And everyone here’s fav A Jolie is in it (somewhat…it’s stop motion animation).

Gerry looks sexy as usual

green lettuce @ 02/15/2007 at 2:17 pm

Noooo… i don’t think ‘Beowulf’ was garbage. Ok I am biased lol! But Gerard has done good movies such as ‘the phantom of the opera’.
To real rita : yes sure he could have been the new Bond but somehow it’s probably better he didn’t. I mean he would have missed ‘300′ and his upcoming projects… That will -finally- get him the recognition he deserves. They also wanted an actor with a better exposure at that time (for Bond).

300 is gonna kick ass. The animation and the art is spectacular. It actually looks like the Frank Miller graphic novel it was based on. Except it has come to life. Butler actually resembles the graphic novel version of king Leonidas so strongly, you’d think Miller modelled the king on him! And Rodrigo Santoro? What can I say. He is totally hot. I fell for him in Love Actually. Then there’s David Wenham and a cast of hotties in leather thongs. I think the guy who was Achilles aide in TROY, Vincent Reagan? He’s in it too. 300 will kill!!!! Go, Zack!!

Gerard is soooo hot!!!! who the hell is rodrigo???

Oh…and I agree…beouwolf wasn’t garbage…it was just different…and if you went there expecting all sorts of special effects and violence you were most likely to be dissapointed.

LOVE @ 02/15/2007 at 4:36 pm

Gerard is soooo HOT!!!

Who the hell is Rodrigo???

Beowoulf was actually a pretty decent movie…a found it entertaining…but if you went there expecting violence and FX it wasn’t the movie for you.

the real tita @ 02/15/2007 at 4:45 pm

I didn’t know that his Beowulf was already out. Did they ever show it here in the US?

magnus: thanks, but we already know that Angie is in the other Beowulf. Now, when will that be shown, I wonder?

I’m so glad that Gerry is finally getting the recognition that he deserves. He’s everything that an actor should be and more. The fact that he’s sexy or scottish should be secondary to why he’s so liked. It’s in his nature to absorb the character’s being into him and he always brings out the role with complete dedication. Not everyone can accomplish that, and it takes a real gift.

I’m proud of you, Gerry.

OH MY LAMB! Rodrigo Santoro is in this as well!!!! I love Gerard but Rodrigo just takes it over the top!

Gosh I hope this will catapult Gerard to a household name! So many people have been sleeping on his talent. I have loved his acting since Dracula 2000. He was an absolutely delish vampire!

# 26

André @ 02/15/2007 at 7:30 pm

Hey.
Rodrigo santoro is here!
He’s so nice and calm..rly cool guy.

The Beowulf movie is actually called “Beowulf & Grendel”…and sorry to report, but I do agree that it’s garbage. He’s great in it, but the movie itself is horrible. I bought it without seeing it because I am a HUGE fan, and I’ll probably never watch it again. Interested in buying it? Haha.

Anyways, I’m so happy that “300″ is getting an amazing response, I can’t wait to see it! I’m so happy for Gerry!

I can’t understand why Gerard Butler has not become a huge international star. He is simply gorgeous, with a beautiful voice and accent. Please everyone, rent Dear Frankie. A very special movie, and he is fantastic in it. I had never heard of him before seeing Dear Frankie, but by the end of the movie I was committed for life!

My thoughts exactly! Gerry is one of the best actor, it is time for him to receive the recognition he deserves.
‘Dear Frankie’ was a beautiful and so emotional movie… Ahhh…
I’ve been a fan of Gerry since I saw him in ‘Dracula’ (2000) and then ‘Attila’ (2001). What a man!!!

Candide @ 02/16/2007 at 11:13 pm

Thanks Jared!

Beowulf and Grendal was beautiful! No where even close to garbage in y opinion.

Magnus, It is nice to see that Angie has one fan left!
