Zack Snyder Updates the 300 Sequel

And what has Frank Miller been doing all this time?

While doing promotion for the upcoming "Watchmen" and "300: Complete Experience" DVD and Blu-ray release, Zack Snyder spoke about the potential follow up to his 2007 Spartan Masterpiece.

"I know for a fact that Frank Miller is writing right now. He's drawing away and seems to be knee-deep in it. I think he's going to head back to Greece again and do another reconnaissance." Snyder states.

Zack Snyder does not expect much to change in the sequel from the first film in regards to the sequels production so the budget wont get out of hand "I think we would use the same technology... I don't want it to look too Star Wars-ian... Just from what Miller told me, it would be bigger as far as landscape and terrain."

Snyder goes on to say "We're going to see Athens and the Aegean and other places. There would be an opportunity for bigger visions, though I'd hope for the same aesthetic. The tech we used for '300' was not a revolution. It's basically what the weatherman has."

	Shaman - hows the trouser soup today? Howlett04 - 6/25/2009, 11:15 AM
	trouser soup? what in the name of christ? lol. This movie is going to be a sequel though - it'll focus on the Greeks and not the Spartans as much. Miller's writing the book so that means it'll be done in 7 years and the movie may or may not come out in 6... Keven - 6/25/2009, 11:25 AM
	@Bee76 Miller already confirmed that it won't be a sequel. It will probably pick up at Plataea and show the rest of the Greco-Persian war. It would have been better if they could have done the movie with the Athenian Naval battle that was taking place during the battle of Thermoplyae, but they already erased that from history in the first one. Also with Leonidas and the others dead, Dillios is most likely going to be the main character. I mean he's cool and all, but he's no Leonidas. ....and Arby's is delicious. ElBeaster - 6/25/2009, 11:25 AM
	ElBeaster- What's so delicious about it??? I NEED to understaaaannndd!!!! Howlett04- Kinda salty to tell you the truth. Shaman - 6/25/2009, 11:34 AM

You have to specially ask for it. There, I just let you in on the greatest secret of all time. ElBeaster - 6/25/2009, 11:53 AM
	Sirprize- Goddamn dude, i really though she had a chance. Teabag- yes... arby's. I already know what's so delicious about my crack. InstigatorGIRL- I highly doubt that the Persian Army would have been dumb enough to attack Chuck Norris. They were confident, not stupid. ElBeaster- I don't know where there could be one near where i live. I just see the damn commercial every damn time i open the tube... and i don't even have cable!!! Shaman - 6/25/2009, 11:55 AM

	1. When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down. 2. Chuck Norris can jump-start a car using jumper cables attached to his nipples. 3. Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise (SirPrize). 4. Chuck Norris doesn't play god. Playing is for children. 5. Chuck Norris eats lightning and farts thunder. 6. If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris. 7. Chuck Norris wears a live rattlesnake as a condom. 8. Chuck Norris smells what the Rock is cooking... because the Rock is Chuck Norris' personal chef. 9. When Bruce Banner gets mad, he turns into the Hulk. When the Hulk gets mad, he turns into Chuck Norris. 10. In a fight between Batman and Darth Vader, the winner would be Chuck Norris. SirPrize - 6/25/2009, 12:26 PM
	The naval battle happened at the same time as the Spartan last stand, which is why it is included in the "Battle of Thermplyaea". They could still have it, but they would have to completely rewrite history. But they did that a lot in the first one, so it wouldn't really matter. Then they could just have Thermistocles and make him a badass. ElBeaster - 6/25/2009, 12:31 PM
	Chuck Norris got in touch with his feminine side and promptly got her pregnant. MsKyle08 - 6/25/2009, 12:32 PM

	@ ElBeaster - Exactly Thermistocles .. and they can show the set up to the battles and have Thermistocles build up the navy just for the battle thegreek - 6/25/2009, 12:36 PM

	El Beaster @ Following Thermopylae, the Persian army proceeded to burn and sack the Boeotian cities which had not submitted to the Persians, Plataea and Thespiae; before marching on the now evacuated city of Athens.[103] Meanwhile, the Allies (for the most part Peloponnesian) prepared to defend the Isthmus of Corinth, demolishing the single road that led through it, and building a wall across it.[104] As at Thermopylae, to make this an effective strategy required the Allied navy to stage a simultaneous blockade, barring the passage of the Persian navy across the Saronic Gulf, so that troops could not be landed directly on the Peloponnese.[105] However, instead of a mere blockade, Themistocles persuaded the Allies to seek a decisive victory against the Persian fleet. Luring the Persian navy into the Straits of Salamis, the Allied fleet was able to destroy much of the Persian fleet in the Battle of Salamis, which essentially ended the threat to the Peloponnese.[106] Sorry dude i was right ... ;-)... Shit i should have been right i am greek i should know thegreek - 6/25/2009, 12:40 PM
	Bigshow @ ... Bruce lee did kill Chuck Norris in the way of the dragon ... lol thegreek - 6/25/2009, 12:46 PM
	Well naturally, it was because he didn't have his ginger beard. He's like Samson in that way. Shaman - 6/25/2009, 12:58 PM
	Well in that case, the naval battle would be sick. Hopefully they can make Thermistocles as cool as Leonidas. ElBeaster - 6/25/2009, 1:10 PM
	No no no no guys!! Of course it is a sequel. It is the series of battles that FOLLOWED the fall of the Spartians in the battle of Thermophywathever. The naval battle that i think you talk about and the continental-Plateia battle happened after the events we saw in 300.. i´ll check it out in Encarta, stay tuned!! ;-] SirJediFrank - 6/25/2009, 1:56 PM
	ElBeaster @ I hope they make him bad ass but he can't be as bad ass as Leonidas... But he was def just as smart as leonidas and strategic... thegreek - 6/25/2009, 3:35 PM
	If they want to make the sequel properly, do it about the battle of Salamis, but don't make Themistocles a badass because Athens was practically the opposite of Sparta, and traet both of them the same way would be wrong. Merinator - 6/25/2009, 3:40 PM
	Man i want a ginger beard now......just so i can be as cool as Chuck teabag - 6/25/2009, 3:42 PM
	Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer. Too bad Chuck Norris never cries! Howlett04 - 6/25/2009, 4:08 PM
	If any of you all knew the truth behind the history of 300, you would know that the battle was not over a few days, but nearly two years. The sequel will encompass a year that happens between the Battle of the Immortals and the Final battle. This is where other countries sent help, i.e. Athens, etc., but only sent small numbers, which retreated when the goat pass was discovered. These reinforcements were sent when Sparta wouldn't send their own army to back up Leonidas. The sad part here is, the first time I heard of the use of this missing year as the plot for the sequel was on this very site, the first time a sequel was discussed for 300. Regardless of the title, its not neccessarily a sequel, more of an expansion. Look up the actual history of the battle, and you'll know what's going on. Or, continue to troll with your puns and jokes, bashing something you don't understand. If you read this story, you would see that Millar is heading to Greece for more research. That's commitment. This will not suck, nor bastardize one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. ParthenonMMA - 6/25/2009, 4:20 PM
	Maybe frank miller should write a few issues of all star batman and robin Nick cage for king leonidous darthstern - 6/25/2009, 4:28 PM

	Ok, I've got to do one. Chuck Norris once shot down a plane by pointing his fingers at it and saying, "bang". Betty - 6/25/2009, 9:41 PM
	I wonder which random small battle is going to be next for this supposed series. Chinese resturant owners vs kittens? Oh wait thats not historic enough. Hell I'd watch it. Soilworley - 6/25/2009, 9:50 PM
	I would love to see more of Lena Heady chuck facts are great here is some chuck norris just came back from visiting the virigin islands ---- they are now just called the "islands" there are 2143 thing Chuck Norris could kill you with in this room including the room itself. Remember the Soviet Union? They decided to quit after watching a DeltaForce marathon on Satellite TV. Chuck Norris is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head. There is no chin behind Chuck Norris’ beard. There is only another fist one more.... what happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force? Chuck Norris found out when he punched himself in the face. i loves the facts i could just keep going shadowboxer - 6/25/2009, 9:51 PM
	There are no such things as tornados, just Chuck Norris in a bad mood. I made that one up and I was pretty proud of it until I found this: "There is no such thing as tornadoes... Chuck Norris just hates trailer parks" They had it first and it was funnier! Damn you cruel world! ElBeaster - 6/25/2009, 10:14 PM

	hang on a second, all this talk about a sequel and i think we've all missed the bigger picture. "The tech we used for '300' was not a revolution. It's basically what the weatherman has." [frick] me sideways, if the weatherman has this technology then why is he so [frick]ing boring, jazz it up a bit, chuck in a slo-mo or something. theFACE - 6/26/2009, 2:15 AM
	theFACE - lmao! THIS, IS, WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Howlett04 - 6/26/2009, 6:16 AM
	A sequel can be made, but it should be about the battle of Salamis, it was the most critical moment of that war. In despite of what was shown in 300, it was Athens who made the winning movement (thanks to Themistocles, who would be the main character in this film). For more information about Greco-Persian wars and the battle of Salamis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Salamis P.D. I know it is repated comment, but I am a bit lazy right now.
