Zack Snyder let loose a few tidbits regarding a sequel to his fan favorite film, 300, starring a bunch of muscle bound warriors woefully outnumbered against a mammoth army of Persians and one really hungry looking dude with a deep voice. He says that Frank Miller will be writing and drawing the graphic novel, and once that is completed talk of formulating a movie script can begin, but Snyder himself will have zero input into the novelization. The sequel will take place during the Battle of Plateaa, where narrator Dilios was hangin' out during the first film.
I'm cautiously optimistic about this. I was somewhat disappointed in 300, finding that it looked great but didn't really do that amazing moment in history the proper justice. The political scenes were particularly painful to watch. But to be fair the graphic novel wasn't one of my favorites, either. I can see the potential for a great film was there, and so I'm hoping that this one will correct some of the mistakes 300 made. I guess that depends on Miller, who's writing has been somewhat spotty in recent years. We shall see. Anyway, check out the article on the story right here.
