300 Part II

Way back in October was when I last blogged about the potential sequel to Zack Snyder's blockbuster film about Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae.

Now we finally get some news straight from Snyder about the possibility of Frank Miller (writer of the original "300" graphic novel) writing another comic. And Snyder says he is all for making another adaptation to film.

Accoring to MTV News, "Although it was dramatized terrifically, Snyder’s '300' told the story of the Battle of Thermopylae, which occurred in 480 BC. The film’s final moments mention that one year later, at Platea, 10,000 Spartan warriors helped defeat a huge Persian force; in a historical context, an equally important event occurred when the Athenian navy crushed the Persians in the battle of Salamis. According to Snyder, '300 Part II' will focus on the intense 12 months when these battles were taking place.

So, in essence, the '300' follow-up wouldn’t be a prequel that could bring back Gerard Butler and the other stars; it also wouldn’t be a traditional sequel with mostly all-new stars. Instead, Snyder and Miller hope to make a film that occurs somewhere around 7/8 of the way through “300,” expanding on the moment. And although such an idea seems somewhat revolutionary, would you expect anything less from the guy who made such a defiantly loyal 'Watchmen' movie?"

I would be willing to see more Spartans battle some more Persians. I enjoyed the first film, I'm sure I'll enjoy the next. But I'll wait to hear more to give a final decision like that.
