301 or 299? What will the next 300 movie be?


IESB have news on the what is next for the 300. Will it be a sequel or a prequel? According to Zack Snyder it will be both.

Snyder says he's spoken with Frank Miller who will be writing and drawing the graphic novel that the second film will be based on. Upon Miller's completion of the book, then, and only then, will they delve into writing a script for the movie.

Snyder continued and said he would not have any input into the novel and wants it to be a creation of Miller's 100%.

He also said it will take place between the Battle of Thermopylae and the Battle of Plataea, the battle that narrator Dilios is at while re-telling the story of King Leonidas and the mighty Spartans to a new group of warriors at the end of 300.

As Dilios says, there's a whole year between Thermopylae and where he currently stands.

There is a whole year between the battles to explore. And that is where we will find this film.

Snyder also told IESB that would definitely direct this sequel/prequel and is looking forward to Miller's completion of the book.

I really enjoyed the original graphic novel and thought the movie Zack Snyder made was fantastic, but I still don't really see the need for a sequel / prequel. However, I'll wait and see what Frank Miller comes up with. What do you think of the news?

That made me laugh. It does seem all a bit forced coming up with another movie based on this.
