This looks awesome. Given the fact that Ahmadinajad and co. weren't happy with 300's portrayal of Persians, I can't imagine the Iranian government will be happy with this...
The film has drawn complaints from Iranian government. Even before its debut at the Cannes Film Festival, the government-connected organisation Iran Farabi Foundation sent a letter to the French embassy in Tehran stating "This year the Cannes Film Festival, in an unconventional and unsuitable act, has chosen a movie about Iran that has presented an unrealistic face of the achievements and results of the glorious Islamic Revolution in some of its parts."
