300 EPIC PREQUEL
TV SERIES IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT
Well, Zack Snyder's legendary epic movie 300 did change movie history launching a special visual style that will later on become a staple for all other blockbusters. Depicting the battle between brave Spartans led by Gerard 
Butler's King Leonidas and Rodrigo Santoro's King Xerxes of Persia, it earned almost half a billion bucks around the world, and the rumour has it that a TV series is in early development and that it would be a prequel. It is believed that Snyder and his production team will lead the TV project as well.

Gerard Butler should be in more movies. I love him.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, he's had films recently, but he now mostly stars in action flicks borderline B league, sadly. I don't know why he does not star on TV, it could be a nice new direction for him. He is preparing the sequel to Geostorm now.
DeleteI don’t believe I ever watched the movie but I’d still give the tv series a try. Like Mary, I wish we saw more of Gerard lately. I almost forgot he existed.
ReplyDeleteThat movie had such a high amount of hunks in it it is crazy and so many of them who later on became bigger stars.
DeleteDezmond, did I enter an unfinished comment. If so could you scrap it. Basically I like 'based on history' movies be factual if possible but even an old trout like me can like seeing a bit of eye-candy. Haven't seen 300.
Delete300 was visually gorgeous, ground breaking actually in that respect, but historically it was extremely biased painting Persians like some kind of Barbarians which they were not, they were actually an extremely tolerant empire unlike Sparta which was and is one of the worst dictatorships and Fascist kingdoms ever. But since all of the Western culture is based on Greek system and history they adopted that notion of superiority over other nations from them and painted Xerxes as some kind of baby eating monster, while in reality it was Spartans who were shockingly vile and intolerant. Persians actually liked to adopt the cultures of annexed regions to enrich their own culture, while Greeks and Romans imposed their own to everyone. If you have time you could read Persians from our dear Lloyd Lewellin Jones, a brilliant read.
