Zack Snyder has been attached to a proposed 300 sequel, and while speculation was all the news we had, he has finally broken the silence and chatted about it.
FirstShowing quotes Snyder:
“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.”
I like Frank Miller doing comics far better than him pretending he can direct. He is an amazing storyteller and artist, but I don’t think that the director’s chair is a comfortable perch for him.
This is a promising look at 300 as a sequel. Clearly there is little else to say AFTER the movie, and there isn’t much of a premise for BEFORE the movie. SO why not make it IN the movie.
Then maybe one day we will get an edited 4.5 hour version of 300 that seamlessly stitches both stories together!
