Man, this can only end well. Kinda hard to believe Miller would be part of this.

Kinda like when First Blood was a success, they got Morell to write a sequel even though in his original book;

Spoiler

Rambo was killed in the end by Troutman

Gotta make money off the sequel, its the American way

 

[Bannister]

Sad part is, we could probably come up with a better spoof of 300 than Meet the Spartans in just a few posts.

While I loved Sin City and 300, it's time for Miller to get back to writing and drawing comics. He's one of my favorite artists and one of the few who's still working from back in the day (read: 80s).

300 Dead Spartan Presidents. They all went off to fight and came home broke and addicted to drugs. They have now devised a plan to rob the bank of America.

300 baby mama's.............

That is an episode Maury not a movie plot. They have one woman and need to find out which one is the father.

Last I heard it was to star Chuck Norris and be called ONE.

I think it's just a cash in. I could understand if Miller wrote a follow up; bit since he didn't, I think it's more about the money then the love of the Greek stores for Miller.

I think it'll be about the navel battle of Salamis, which was quite a remarkable victory for the Greeks. It's even a more important battle then the battle of Thermopylae.

300 was a bad ass movie. And, I like it alot.

A sequel, however....make no sense to me.

Wait a minute....

Milk that cash cow baby!

I believe you're on to something here! Its been referred to by Miller when saying he's figured out how to do a sequel. I'm not sure of the timeline but apparently there was also a naval battle going on at the same time, perhaps ships that were trying to stop Xerxes' armies from reaching Greece.

So that fits with having another doomed mission. It may or may not actually be happening at the SAME time as the first story or starting a bit before and lasting until then, etc.

I know at first the news seems like a joke. Imagine someone saying they were doing a TITANIC sequel. And everyone laughs, but what if it were the story of the Carpathian that begins just when they get the SOS call? Same sort of thing.

I'll post a condensed synopses.
The Battle of Salamis took place shortly after Thermopylae, There were ships that held off the Persian navy from encircling the 300, but that was shown as a storm that damaged Xerxes's fleet in the film, (Bad weather did play a part).

After Thermopylae, Persia ransacked and burned Greek cities including Athens which was deserted. The outnumbered Greeks (366 ships to Persia's 720-800 ships) had set their entire fleet off the island of Salamis and lured the Persian ships into a narrow gulf by an advance and then a retreat. There, the Greeks waited for early morning winds to create high waves that broke the Persian ship formations and caused disruption amongst the Persian fleet. The Greeks then took advantage of the chaos and attacked. The Persians were decimated (200 of their ships sank compared to only 40 Greek ships) and many of the Persians drowned because they did not know how to swim. The Persian alliance of ships also broke apart from infighting (Xerxes beheaded his Phoenician allies for cowardice). Persia could not continue with the war without a navy to supply the armies, so Xerxes retreated back to Persia and after a few more skirmishes, the Greek/Persian wars ended with the Greeks victorious.

It would make a pretty good movie and a nice way to end the story, but I think Frank should've wrote and drew the book long ago before deciding to do the movie sequel if he really cared that much for it.

Thank you, Screamingmetal, that is just what I was thinking. The sequel could probably be the rest of the war that 300 started. I am looking forward to this, and with Clash of the Titans, God of War and Masters of the Universe getting the movie treatment in the next 2 or so years it will be a great time for fans of Sword and Sandal, as well as fans of Ray Harryhausen's classic Greek Mythology films.

Happy Birthday, Ray!!

Thought both battles were at the same time. Cause the greeks had the navy(commanded by the Athenians) positioned to block the Persians navy from flanking the 300(plus 7000) defending the pass(hot gates)...least thats what they taught us in history class.
