What Would Zack Snyder's Star Wars Look Like?Once news broke that Zack Snyder reportedly was prepping a standalone Star Wars film, the Internet did what the Internet does, which is cleverly (and snarkily) lampooning the idea. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-01-15 06:41:18comments
300 Prequel Gets A New TitleThe 300 prequel has already gone through two names, including Xerxes and 300: Battle of Artemsia, but now it seems that they have moved things around and the project once again has a new name: 300: Rise of an Empire. The new film is being directed by Smart People helmer Noam Murro and stars Sullivan Stapleton, Eva Green, Rodrigo Santoro, Callan Mulvey and Jack O'Connell....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-09-12 20:51:49comments
Aussie Actor Callan Mulvey Lands Roles In 300 Sequel, Bigelow's LatestHis credits include work on the television series Rush, Home and Away and Heartbreak High. But he appears poised to make the leap to high-profile feature films, and solid work in both Dark Thirty and Artemisia could propel him to Joel Edgerton or Gerard Butler status. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-03-29 06:29:19comments
Jamie Blackley Will Lead 300 SequelJamie Blackley has signed on to star opposite Sullivan Stapleton. While Stapleton is set to play the menacing Xerxes, who was memorably and strangely portrayed by Rodrigo Santoro in the original, Blackley will take on the role of Calisto, a young man who aspires to be a great and heroic warrior like his father before him. ...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-02-17 08:53:56comments
300 Sequel May Finally Have Landed A Solid TitleIt’s been nearly five years since Zack Snyder blew all of our minds with the wildly visual and hyper-muscly 300. The stylized effects coupled with the arguably overused slo-mo effects really put Snyder on the map and sparked a ton of interest in the Frank Miller graphic novel. Naturally, since 300 made back its budget in just one weekend, the studio wanted a sequel and so did many fans....by Will LeBlanc | published: 2012-01-05 11:29:24comments
Joel Edgerton Won't Be In The Planned 300 PrequelIt might be best for all involved. As was sort of hinted at, Edgerton’s not really the kind of guy prepared to open a film to the type of number Artemisia will need to hit to afford all of its costly CGI. Then again, those who’ve seen the actor in films like Animal Kingdom or Warrior know that he’s far more capable of dramatic fare, and we’d hate to see him wasted screaming “This is Artemisia!” in front of a green screen....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-11-21 14:02:47comments
Will Gerard Butler And Lena Headey Return For 300: Battle Of Artemisia?Just because there is room in the script for the return of Leonidas and Gorgo doesn’t necessarily mean that those scenes will be in the final cut of the film. Moreover, it wouldn’t necessarily guarantee that Butler and Headey would definitely be reprising these roles if those characters did resurface. They could easily replace them with other actors which may even be required depending on how far in advance of the original 300 story the prequel takes place....by Brian Salisbury | published: 2011-09-08 10:51:48comments
Captain America's Red-Faced Nazi And 6 Other Blatant Historical LiesThe American people need to know Nazis weren’t led by some Satanic warmonger one step left from Jeff Goldblum’s fly. I’d like to think the best of the population, that the average person could sift through these blows against veracity, but the truth is they won’t. Within decades, teachers will be showing this film at the expense of textbooks. Where does it stop?...by Mack Rawden | published: 2011-07-22 23:53:36comments
300 Sequel Battle of Artemisia Handed To Noam MurroThe follow-up film, which once was titled Xerxes and is based on Frank Miller’s upcoming graphic novel, shifts its focus to the Persian leader who was the antagonist in Snyder’s 2006 battle thriller. Snyder co-wrote the screenplay with his 300 collaborator Kurt Johnstad. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-07-16 07:22:37comments
Xerxes Retitled 300: Battle of Artemisia, Noam Murro Or Jaume Collet-Serra May DirectNobody on this planet expected Zack Snyder's 300 to be the box office smash that it was. Raking in more than $450 million worldwide on a $65 million budget, the film was such a success that when a spin-off called Xerxes was presented, the studio gave it an immediate greenlight. The problem? That was all the way back in 2007, and very little has been done since to actually get the movie in motion....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-06-27 19:44:51comments
Conan The Barbarian Poster Wants To Remind You Of 300Even though the film's writer Sean Hood promised online that the film is definitely rated R, nothing is certain until the MPAA weighs in; then again, looking at the new poster for the film that debuted yesterday at IGN, it's hard to imagine they're going for anything different...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-05-10 06:07:13comments
300 Sequel No Longer Called Xerxes, Almost Definitely Won't Be Directed By Zack SnyderBeyond the new title and Canton's vague, all-but-guaranteed suggestion that Snyder won't be directing -- "I don’t see us waiting two years to make the movie"-- there's not much news here. But the dozens of you waiting to return to the world of 300 without Snyder's direction...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-04-06 12:56:29comments
Fixing Zack Snyder: Less Sucker Punch, More Budget CrunchOnce he's done with the Man of Steel, I'm dying to see Snyder handed $30 million and a shopping mail again, to prove he's still a director who knows how to get out of his own way, who knows his great talents are sometimes even better when we don't see quite so much of them. ...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-03-27 20:19:25comments
Zack Snyder Won't Shoot Anything Without His WifeThere are only three different kinds of spouses in the creative world. Those that have no interest in getting involved, those that want to help but get in the way and those that are unquantifiable assets. Unfortunately, most people have a largely negative perception of hands on spouses because of Yoko Ono’s assumed severing of The Beatles....by Mack Rawden | published: 2011-02-21 16:23:10comments
Guy Ritchie Will Not Be Directing The 300 Sequel XerxesEveryone was pretty surprised yesterday when it was announced that Zack Snyder would no longer be directing the 300 sequel, Xerxes and that, instead, Warner Bros. would be giving the project to Guy Ritchie. The story made a lot of sense, as Snyder will be busy directing the next Superman movie and the studio was quite pleased with what Ritchie did with Sherlock Holmes. As logical as the story was, though, it's not happening....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-02-16 19:01:52comments
Guy Ritchie To Replace Zack Snyder On The 300 Sequel Xerxes300 creator Frank Miller has written a sequel to his comic turned movie and Warner Bros. is dead set on turning that idea, Xerxes into a sequel. Until recently it seemed like if the project actually happened, 300 director Zack Snyder would be behind it. In fact back in 2010 Snyder actually said he was working on it. But now, out of the blue, it looks like things are going a different direction. Snyder is out, Guy Ritchie may be in....by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-02-15 17:24:04comments
New David And Goliath Movie Will Basically Turn The Bible Into 300Remember The Day the Earth Stood Still remake? Of course you don’t, no one does. If you did remember it though, then you’d probably be less than excited about having the guy who directed it mining the Bible for action movie fodder...by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-01-07 14:24:03comments
Zack Snyder Is Much Closer To Making Xerxes Than You Thinkt might seem a little risky for Snyder and Johnstad to start putting together a script without knowing what Miller's final product will look like, but given how faithful the director was to Miller's book with 300...by Katey Rich | published: 2010-07-28 13:22:58comments
Zack Snyder Will Start Writing Xerxes, His 300 Sequel Which Isn't A SequelXerxes is what they’re calling 300: The Next and he’s working on the script with his 300 collaborator Kurt Johnstad. 300 was based on a Frank Miller comic...by Josh Tyler | published: 2010-07-21 15:10:57comments
First Look At Frank Miller's 300 Sequel, XerxesIt’s hard to say whether we’ll ever really see the long promised sequel to Zack Snyder’s 300. It always seemed like a strange idea anyway, doing a sequel to a movie about all of the story’s...by Josh Tyler | published: 2010-06-01 23:19:37comments
300 May Get A 3D Re-ReleasePeople rail against remakes and reboots, but if you think that’s lazy, you haven’t seen anything yet. The next step for Hollywood is re-releases, and 3D gives them the perfect excuse to do it...by Josh Tyler | published: 2010-03-22 22:39:50comments
Frank Miller Has A Plot For The 300 PrequelBasically, the sequel will be called Xerxes, and will tell the story of the battle of Marathon, set about 10 years before the events of 300. So, technically, it's a prequel...by Katey Rich | published: 2009-12-15 11:59:36comments
Fox To Make Moses Awesome, 300 StyleWhen you were a kid, did you ever sit in Sunday school and wonder, “What if Moses was a bad mutha and beat the ever living crap out of the jerk off Pharaoh? Yup, that’d be awesome. Our father, who art in Heaven…” Well wonder no more, Jesus freaks, because Peter Chernin over at 20th Century Fox is giving us just that. ...by Will LeBlanc | published: 2009-10-12 00:20:37comments

Comic Con: Zack Snyder Has Seen 300 In 3DThere might be another kind of future for King Leonidas and his doomed men.

Snyder Promises Bigger Visions For 300: The SequelIf Frank Miller wanted to write a sequel to 300, then he should have done it at some point in the eleven years since he wrote the first one, not waited around until someone made a successful movie out of it before going to work on another...by Josh Tyler | published: 2009-06-25 00:44:16comments
