TPTB Pondering a Sequel to “300″? Say What?

Topics: Frank Miller's 300, Movie Stuff, Stupid Hollywood

Via the groovy guys over at Cinema Blend, here’s news that “300″ producer Mark Canton is apparently so excited about the upcoming Zach Snyder adaptation of Frank Miller’s “300″ that he’s already talking about a sequel. As the CB guys correctly points out (and as my college semester of Warfare in Greek History confirms), how the hell are you going to make a sequel to a movie where everyone — well, I won’t spoil it for people who might not know the history of the 300 Spartans, but suffice it to say, it ain’t pretty, and it don’t leave room for no stinin’ sequel. Then again, there doesn’t seem to be any room for a sequel to “The Departed”, either, and The Powers That Be still insists on making one, or two, or a couple half dozen. Stupid Hollywood.

“300″, aka The Best Damn Movie Next to “Transformers”, opens March 9th, 2007.


“Um, did he just say sequel? Huh, looks like someone missed History class one day too many…”
