301? Sequel to 300 apparently imminent
Mikey 9 comments
It turns out the film studios were rather impressed with the box office receipts from Zack Snyder's epic Spartan bloodbath, 300. So it's no surprise then that a sequel is on the horizon, although King Leonidas and his compadre's should technically be absent.
This isn't a sealed deal just yet as producer Mark Canton is still awaiting the official green light from Warner Bros, which if his optimism is anything to go by should be inevitable.

Thursday 13th March 2008 | 07:36 AMThere were plenty of spartan wars to use as material, obviously the war against the invading persian army was the most noteable because of the reputed diffence in the size of the armies. This will be interesting though.

Thursday 13th March 2008 | 05:34 PMThey will probably just CGI Waldo into the movie somewhere making the Spartan army 301 men strong. The fans of 300 do not care too much for story anyway, so they will enjoy the violence and cliché for 301st time and argue intellectually whether it is historically correct that Waldo was present... if they can even find him.

One beautiful ride from the beginning to the end everything created only for the pure eye-pleasure. Yeah, there were some feelings (my sister cried in the end), some story (to get it goin'), but in the end I went to see art and art I got. Twice. :P

The story also got a pretty definite ending, now why try to milk the bull for something?
