You can say many things about Zack Snyder, and many film critics have over the last couple of decades, but there's no doubt that some of his most popular films have proven to be really influential. 300 probably stands alone as the pinnacle of this, with its slow-mo fight scenes changing what people expect from swords-and-sandals movies.
I can't prove, by any stretch, that Amazon is looking to harness some of that nostalgia with its newest epic series, House of David, but I think there are more than enough parallels to merit the comparison. The show just got its first trailer, and will arrive on Prime Video on 27 February, at the end of this month.
