Sequel to 300 on the way

Legendary Pictures has confirmed it is developing a "300" follow-up for Warner Bros. that Frank Miller is writing and Zack Snyder is intended to direct.

Miller is writing the graphic novel the project will be based upon, although at this point it's not clear whether it will be a prequel or spinoff. Most of the characters, including Gerard Butler's King Leonidas, died in the original, making a follow-up tricky.

Snyder won't officially commit until after he sees Miller's take, but he's definitely interested, and the prospect of his involvement already has fanboys in a tizzy.

Legendary, which also co-financed and produced Snyder's "Watchmen" for Warners, considers the project a major priority.

Time to starting buying stock in steroids and growth hormone....

Let me guess: Battle of Salamis with Xerxes commanding legions of sea monsters and Greek warriors shouting "THIS. IS. SALAMI!"

How about a film wherein scavengers pick through the corpses of the 300 and their 700 allies looking for wealth. Or would that be redundant?

 

[Mark Chance]

Or, better yet, how about a film that's something more than a two hour long video game trailer?

Some movies just should not have sequels.

What, like we need 301?

Well, if anyone needed proof that Frank Miller has lost it in the past few years...

I don't know if I would say he lost it, I mean throw a lot of money my way and I would write a sequel to 300 too! Hell, just call Uwe, he would do it!

True...and, admittedly, he was always a bit. Uh. Unique.

But between what he's turned The Spirit into and this...well, methinks something has kind of switched off, no matter the cause.
