The cool Gerard Butler (he’s from Scotland too don’t you know) has just signed up for another big role. According to Coming Soon he’s signed for star in the adaptation of Frank Millers graphic novel 300 to be directed by Zack Snyder.
Gerard Butler (Phantom of the Opera, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life) has been signed to star. Production will begin October 17 in Montreal.
The film tells the true story of 300 elite Spartan fighters who, led by King Leonidas (Butler), fought to the death against King Xerxes’ massive Persian army during the battle of Thermopylae in 481-480 B.C. According to lore, their valor inspired all of Greece to rise up against the invading Persians, planting the seeds of democracy.
Well done him, now give us an interview Mr Butler, please! I think this is another excellent step in Butlers career, however it does take him another step away from the Burns production which is having it’s own difficulties. Still all those fans that have been commenting on the Phantom post can be happy!
