Gerard Butler Reveals His Involvement And Knowledge Of A 300 Sequel!

Talking to MTV Splash Page, Gerard Butler has addressed the recent rumors that he'll be back for a role (perhaps as one as small as a cameo) in the planned sequel to 300. The first movie was loved by critics and fans alike, and it seems that they're not the only ones hoping the movie will live up to the quality of the first. Here is the video interview and transcription courtesy of the site.



"You know more than I do. I'm like, 'Oh there's a director now?' I've heard that I'm in the script. I've heard things, I've seen things, I've flown off the moon. That was my way of avoiding [the question]!"

"I honestly don't know what's going on. I have to see a script and talk with them more. I would love to get involved again, but it has to be something special. Because '300' to me was such a powerful one-off experience, that there's no point in doing it again unless it's really great."

Come to think of it... it is set up for a sequel. The whole story was being told to the Spartans preparing for Battle and revenge of the 300 at Thermopylae.

I think it's one of Xerxes decendants who takes over the reigns of the Persian Empire a couple of generations after they defeated the Greeks in 300....

Um, History teacher here: HE DIED in 300! It can only be a prequel!

Also, @Greengo, Xerxes was the son of Darius, who had tried to conquer Greece earlier. This war was actually the second time the Greeks beat the Persians.

The 300 Spartans is the most overrated event in history; all they did was stall the Persians so the Athenians could beat the Persians a second time (they did it without Spartan help the first time).

they should continue where they left off....... there's a lot of story to be told after they defeated the 300....
the persians occupying athen and plundering it. the spartans who are marching with a small group to athens where the persians choose to leave the city instead of a stand off....... the spartan government who decides to go for the final battle for revenge of the 300......and ofcourse.... after leonidas was defeated...... xerxes gave order to decapitate and crucify leonidas body......

the battle itself...... according to historians and wikipedia..... 300.000 persians against 8-10.000 spartans and 30.000 greeks......... persian casualities....200.000....... greek(spartan) casualities.....147....!!! but the battle itself toolk longer than a few hours..... they had a stand of for days or weeks..... where the greeks had the higher ground...... so..... more than enough too make a GOOD sequel..... !!!!
