Warner Bros. has zeroed in on Noam Murro to direct its 300 spin-off, 300: Battle of Artemisia (formerly known as Xerses). Murro was vying for the gig with Jaum Collet-Serra, the director of this year’s Liam Neeson thriller Unknown. But Warners, which liked both directors, in Solomon-like wisdom divided up gigs for the filmmakers, yesterday handing Collet-Serra the adaptation of Akira. An official offer to Murro is expected to be made early next week.
In the graphic novel the story takes place about 10 years before the original
300. The story will central around Xerses and his quest for godhood after the death of his father. The story is suppose to take place over many year but will focus on the battle of Artemisium.
