Exclusive: Zack Snyder Talks 300 Sequel

June 24, 2009

Warner Bros. held a press meeting this afternoon to showcase the new immersive technology of their upcoming Watchmen and 300 Blu-rays. Zack Snyder, in addition to talking about the releases, chatted with ComingSoon.net/Superhero Hype! about his potential sequel to 300.

"I know for a fact that Frank [Miller] is writing right now," says Snyder, who explains that the plan is for Miller to create the story as a comic book first, "[He's] drawing away and seems to be knee-deep in it. I think he's going to head back to Greece again and do another reconnaissance."

With the first 300 having been created on a decidedly smaller budget than Watchmen, Snyder says that he probably wants the look and feel of a sequel to maintain that of 300, even though Miller's notes promise a grander scale.

"I think we would use the same technology... I don't want it to look too Star Wars-ian... Just from what [Miller] told me, it would be bigger as far as landscape and terrain. We're going to see Athens and the Aegean and other places. There would be an opportunity for bigger visions, though I'd hope for the same aesthetic. The tech we used for '300' was not a revolution. It's basically what the weatherman has. Look, instead of Accuweather it's Sparta... It's going to be the same way, but on crazier steroids."

Check back soon for the full interview!

Awesome! I wonder what it would be called though.

"300 2" would just sound odd.

Nice....Im stoked once again

its crazy to me when you see the 300 behind the scenes and there fighting in front of blue screens the whole time. It's amazing wat computers can pull off these days. not to mention the computer graphics that 2012 movie has... anyway, food for thought

Just glad that Miller is actually helming the story aspect. If it was left up to Hollywood to just milk a franchise that didn't begin as a franchise (Which it sort of still is) I'd be more worried...

This is Spartaaaaaaaaaaaa!! yeahh!!; cant wait for moreee!!

Interesting, another 300. Can they really pull off another? I guess we'll see...something about the idea seems forced, like just for the sake of making money.
But if it's good...then it's good. If not?

Well , 300 IS AN UNIQUE Materpiece ! it got people into a new Kind of Movie Experience ( The looks etc) I really like what They Did with "300" a long as they don't get this into a Sequel $$$$ ! and No Soul ...Well I guess we will have to see !

well if Zack Snyder is doing this one, it should be pretty good. I loved the first one. It didn't try to be something it wasn't. It was violent, epic (on a small scale, if that makes sense) and just simply Raw.
Here's to hoping Miller, Snyder & Co. can catch lightning in a bottle TWICE!!

"THIS IS YODAAAA!"

pic or it didnt happen

Man I don't know about a 300 sequel. The first was awesome great movie. But I don't know how well a sequel to that master piece could be. I think it would be better as a origin story.

Zack Snyder and Frank Miller: two great hacks who hack great together. The first one was crap. I'll pass on more of the same, thanks.

Posted by: Ratcrawler on June 25, 2009 at 00:53:34

Well, there was the battle of Platea, which the 300 of Thermopoly pretty much just led up to. I'll wait to see how the graphic novel turns out at least.

thier definitely doing this for the kid's .
mmmmm........?

Posted by: SteveG on June 25, 2009 at 01:02:17

As if the first one wasn't "steroidal" enough?? "300" was a ridiculous movie. Spartans waging war wearing nothing but capes and underoos. Gag. A sequel?? Please NO!

Posted by: soyeah22 on June 25, 2009 at 01:06:15

301?

Hollywood, stop ruining perfectly good things. Thank you.

The idea of a sequel makes me kind of scared. I guess if Frank Miller is creating the story, then it should be pretty good. I guess it will really show the difference in his writing between the era's in his life.

Posted by: RT on June 25, 2009 at 01:56:28

600!

Posted by: TheyRapedDeadPool!!! on June 25, 2009 at 02:03:51

no

Posted by: bluemuffin on June 25, 2009 at 02:11:25

Oh Frank, you are such a greedy, greedy ... LEave your work and that of others alone!

Posted by: D-MAN on June 25, 2009 at 02:15:14

I would love to see a sequel on 300.

Posted by: Tyson on June 25, 2009 at 02:25:34

Zack, don't make this and ruin how everyone already loves the first movie.With this new technology make yout epic zombie movie that you wanted to make...

Posted by: neufaeth69 on June 25, 2009 at 03:32:08

Should have done it about the battle of Marathon !

Posted by: ico on June 25, 2009 at 03:39:45

We probably wont see this for roughly 5 years at the least. I wonder what the plot is?
