300 Sequel Details
Published 10/2/2008 at Cinema Blend News
300 Sequel Details Score one for the power of alcohol. IESB’s Robert Sanchez cornered Zack Snyder in a bar somewhere and we presume, after buying him tequila shots, got him to spill details on what’s going on with the sequel to 300 . Snyder opened up and told him all about it. It seems that right now they’re waiting on Frank Miller. Rather than just coming up with any old sequel script, Miller is working on a second graphic novel which, when finished they will use as the basis for another film, the same as they did the first time around. Neither Snyder, nor anyone else ...

You remember, the battle that Dilios (the narrator) is at during the film’s final monologue.

According to Wikipedia, The Battle of Plataea was the final major battle of the Greco-Persian Wars in southern Greece. It took place in 479 BC between an alliance ...

Now We Know When The New 300 Movie Will Take Place...

Merrick here... A while back we heard that some sort of follow-up to 300 was being readied by Frank Miller, and that Zack Snyder would return to direct it when it was ready.

IESB got a chance to speak to Snyder about this yesterday (at a WATCHMEN press event), who had this to say: Snyder also said it will take place between the Battle of ...
