Comment RSS300 Prequel Announced, Called Xerxes
17.12.09 # Sequel # 8 Comments
With the massive success of the film version of 300 for director Zach Snyder, naturally everyone was expecting there to be some kind of sequel or spin off rushed out to cash in on the sword-and sandals hype, however the graphic novel the movie is based on is a stand-alone work so there was no raw material upon which to base the story.
Until now that is.
In an interview with the LA Times, Frank Miller, the creator of 300 has stated that he is working on a prequel entitled Xerxes.
Miller is preparing a follow-up now titled “Xerxes,” which begins about 10 years before the events of “300,” and Snyder has expressed interest in it as a film property as well. “It’s the battle of Marathon through my lens,” Miller said Wednesday. “I’ve finished the plot and I’m getting started on the artwork.
Miller said he is not surprised Greece is resurgent in Hollywood. “Every generation returns to ancient Greece because, well, the stories are so damn good”.

I sincerely apologise Bum Implosion.
I think Bum Implosion needs a shoulder massage from a Persian king before he has a bum explosion.
I hate these internet cowards who hide behind their computer screens and insult people to make themselves feel better about their own pathetic existence.
First off Bum Implosion,WOW. Anyway,Its good that they’re making a spinoff 300 was IT.That’s what I call a epic war film.They should do the same thing for Watchmen and focus on Rorschachs origin.
why can’t they just do one about the Peloponnesian War? I’d much rather see Sparta fight Athens than watch ANOTHER movie about Babylon
