'300' sequel officially in the works | Movie News | Movies | Entertainment Weekly

Looks like it's time to milk some cash from the 300 franchise and make a new movie. My favorite quote:

"There's some speculation that it could be a prequel, since most of the characters in 300, about the ancient Battle of Thermopylae, perished at the end of the story. Thus, there's no word yet on whether star Gerard Butler will return as King Leonidas."

There's still plenty of story to tell...

Battle of Plataea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Battle of Plataea

The Battle of Plataea was the final major battle of the Greco-Persian Wars in southern Greece. It took place in 479 BC between an alliance of the Greek city-states Sparta, Athens, Corinth, Megara and others against the Persians.

After the disastrous defeat of his navy at the Battle of Salamis, Xerxes I, the king of Persia, retreated home leaving his general Mardonius in charge of the conquered Greek territories. Mardonius (through Alexander I of Macedon) first sought a truce with Athens, offering autonomous government and Persian aid in rebuilding their destroyed city. The Athenians rejected this offer and instead sent an envoy to Sparta asking for Spartan assistance in securing their city and driving the Persian army out of Greece. The Spartans however appeared to be more interested in protecting their homeland (to which end they were building a wall across the isthmus of Corinth, gateway to the Peloponnese.) Mardonius recaptured Athens and again made the same offer of peace but the Athenians once again rejected his offer outright.

never saw the first one

Well I think its funny how they are deciding if it's a prequel or not. I mean, they all died, so unless they do a 300: The Next Generation, it will have to be a prequel.

Eitherway, I cant see the same actors coming back for it.

All you need it Frank Miller and the same special effects team and the people will come....a prequel is not needed.

How are they gonna title it? Plataea wasn't fought with 300 dudes. If it's a prequel what battle are they gonna do? Marathon? Engagements before the Persian war?

Honestly, does it really matter? It's not like the first one was even close to historically accurate.
