....300 sequel in the works....Yeah.

[axia777]

While I love the first one I think a sequel is a retarded idea. The story was told. It is over. They are just milking the idea dry. I will not watch it most likely.

 

[Flying-Emu]

That's..Interesting. Didn't they all die in the first one?

Obviously Leonidas used the Dead Ringer.

Fnar Fnar.

Maybe we get to see them dine in hell.
300 2: The Picnic of the Damned!

 

[Bellorewrath]

but what do they plan to do? the battle after the battle of thermopylae? i forget its name, though i do love my spartans.

Well a simultaeneous battle that occured was the Arteminius straits led by an Athenian called Thermysticlese because the war against Persia and even before Thermypolae united the greek nations (didnt last long but meh lol) n im nt sure of the battles name persay but i knw the Persian forces were giving a bloody good kickign as far as iv ever known so it could be around the war that follows? though someone has raised the point its based on a 'currently in the works' follow up comic so it probably won't be and will probbaly SUCK lol

Cool idea...however I don't think a second movie has to be made. Give us Sin City 2 already!

 

[captainwalrus]

It's not necessarily a bad idea. It's a sequel to a movie where the entire premise was: Spartans generally kick ass. So what would a sequel look like?... More Spartans generally kicking ass.

Actually, it's probably a shit ton easier to make a sequel to "300" than it is to make a sequel to a movie not based on a historical event. Instead of writing material from scratch, you just dig through the history books for more examples of Spartan ass-kickery.

If there was a sequel comic, and that sequel was well recieved, then I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

If they're just going to pull stuff out of their ass, then I'll lol and spend my money elsewhere kthx

Well remember, Michael Crichton got paid a million bucks by Hollywood to crank out Jurrassic Park 2, so that he would have justification to do a sequel movie, so there could be some of that crap going on here as well.

Why not do the battle of Marathon?

Because it's not based off a graphic novel, Snyder wouldn't know wtf he is doing.

Also because Marathon happened before the battle of Thermoplyae, 10 years before.

I don't reckon it's stupid. Platea anyone?

Either that or Salamis or the sacking of Athens, neither of which had spartans.

If there hasn't been the worst sequel idea ever yet, this would definetly top the rankings.

what about the 3 ninja's sequels?

I meant sequel ideas, not sequels that actually happened.

 

[Aedrial]

Ugh, you ARE joking right? The movie was terrible, just a gore-fest. I did like watchmen though.

 

[Skeleon]

Didn't... they all die at the end?
How do you make a sequel with that?

 

[joystickjunki3]

Sigh, really? I mean, I'm not surprised, but I'm still disappointed.

 

[fenrizz]

my friend explained that after the event of 300, they came back with a bigger army, and WTFPWND every one even harder.

sounds good to me

Wasn't thar in the end of 300?
Or at least them charging?

OT:
I think it's a bad idead to be honest.
It could (almost certainly) never be better than the first, and I'm faitly certain it would be a tremendous dissapointment.

Anyone else think this is shitstacks retarded or is it just me? The film was a goddamned universal hit, even though it wasn't technically amazing from a critical viewpoint, but almost everyone loved it (including myself). But a sequel? Isn't that pushing it?

In my opinion, he should be a comic book nerd's dream director, he practically traces graphic novels and comics and translates them to film. But he shouldn't have done Watchmen, and he shouldn't be doing this if you ask me.

wait a minute what do you have against the watchmen that was a great movie

I'll leave it out because I don't want to derail my own thread, but I wasn't entirely happy with it. I feel Snyder's directing would have worked on any other film but that one, and I still think Watchmen is unfilmable.

3001: The Rise of Mecha-Leonidas

I would pay to see that ^^

As for the sequal, I don't know. I love 300, so if they manage to make a good one, I am all for it. If we keep our hopes low maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

[IamQ]

These days we can make sequals to movies, even if everyone died in the first movie, they still manage to make a sequal.

 

[Lonely Swordsman]

UltraLametastic. the director/writer must be flaming batshit wonky. this is the worse idea, ever. like if they had made a sequel to the Neverending story.

The did. Two of them in fact.
