I really thought this one was dead in the water when Zack Snyder decided to direct man Of Steel for WB, but apparently we will still be getting that 300 spin off detailing the "God King" Xerxes' rise to power, but it's no longer titles Xerxes, and it won't have Snyder on board as director..
Deadline report..
The producers of the 300 spinoff known as Xerxes have retitled their film 300: Battle of Artemisia, and they have also narrowed their focus of potential directors to two: Noam Murro and Jaume Collet-Serra.
Word is that the movie will still retain Snyder and his wife Debra as producers at Legendary Pictures. As for the two directors in line, Murro is best known for his ward winning commercial work(he gave us the
Halo as campaigns) but does have one movie credit in
Smart People . Collet-Serra has directed
Unknown, and is working on the Vampire flick
Harker.
