Gerard Butler Talks 300 Sequel

King Leonidas himself spoke to MTV about the proposed sequel to the CBM blockbuster 300!
We have heard the rumors for a while now, and as illogical and downright silly a direct sequel sounds, director Zack Snyder has said that if Frank Miller comes up with something solid, he would be game to make the movie.

MTV heard from another big gun involved with 300 , Gerard Butler, who played the very dead at the end King Leonidas..

“I had an incredible time doing the first one, and I think that if the first one was a stand-alone, as a one-off, there’s no bad thing in that,” explained Gerard Butler when MTV up with him recently. “But, you know, let’s see what it might bring forward with a second one.”

Butler also said that he hasn't heard anything official, and its only fans and journalists that seem to keep him in the loop!

“I don’t know how real it is,” he said.

Cool, he's been up for a sequel for ages!!

It'll work!

Course it'll havta be a prequel really though lol.

BUTLER for CAPTAIN BRITAIN! ; D

Please no sequel or prequel to 300. Just leave it as a standalone movie and actually get making some comic book movies that badly need to be made instead of pointless sequels and prequels

Hell yeah, LEEE, Butler would be awesome as Captain Britain or even Kraven The Hunter. Im just trying to find out which DC character he could play
dancingmonkey08 - 10/7/2009, 9:05 AM
talk about making a movie purely for the money...
CorndogBurglar - 10/7/2009, 9:07 AM
I'd much rather see a sequel to Rocknrolla

300 was fine the way it was
supermarioworldE - 10/7/2009, 9:13 AM
What they SHOULD do is reboot 300 with Joel Schumacher directing. . the reboot it AGAIN with Woody Allen directing and George Tekei as Leonidas. . . the rest of the Spartans can be played by Bill Bellamy

All demographics covered. Boom!
MultiPurposePoni - 10/7/2009, 9:13 AM
@ multi

they could give everyone fake nipples to go along with the fake abs!

@cdb: You know what I call that? GENIUS!

We need to get you a production assistant job on Wolverine 2
MultiPurposePoni - 10/7/2009, 9:27 AM
supermarioworlde:a sequel called "The real rocknrolla" ? it would be awesome!
wards - 10/7/2009, 9:30 AM
And what about a 300 "sequel" telling the battle of Salamis?
Merinator - 10/7/2009, 9:32 AM
but then no leonidas which is what they want
superdog - 10/7/2009, 9:44 AM
@wards, hell yeah. Guy Ritchie is great and I can't wait for that sequel.


no to a 300 sequel. I think we already have too many nipples in zack snyder movies.
supermarioworldE - 10/7/2009, 9:45 AM
Merinator, glad to see someone else paid attention to history...

A sequel to Thermopylae, huh?

300 SUCKED!!!!

What noisome garbage.

And so now we need more?

Uh huh. Yeah, right.
bropous - 10/7/2009, 9:53 AM
300 sequel. i think they mean prequel, i am not to sure about this one?
peterparker420 - 10/7/2009, 9:55 AM
YAY...i think :p







This time we need the nipples to be epic...








lol :P

teabag - 10/7/2009, 9:57 AM
bropous-what sucked about 300? the story was great, acting,good,special effect,spot on. i don't see anything "garbage" like about it.

tea--hahah man nipples..OK so all the shirt-less half naked men i could do with out!
peterparker420 - 10/7/2009, 9:59 AM
I agree with dancingmonkey. Neeeext! There isn't even a sequel to the comic. Why do another movie? I think Frank Miller and Zack Snyder need to get started on the Dark Knight Returns movie. Do that first, and if you must do a sequel to something, do Dark Knight Strikes again. Hell, if Gerard Butler needs work, age him up with prosthetics and cast him as old Bruce Wayne/Batman.

peterparker420 - 10/7/2009, 10:05 AM
lol, Mario I think we must differ vastly on our taste in movies. I thought Rockenrolla was boring as hell.

"There this facking c#nt, an he has this facking painting, an hes a c#nt"..repeat, ad nauseum.

I hate Ritchie's movies..bar Snatch which was entertaining.

Tea, that is disturbing! Love the dancing Gerry gifs
Rorschach01 - 10/7/2009, 10:06 AM
DANCING @ Yeah he'd make a great SPIDEY villain too, don't if ever pick the same actor twice from the same UNiverse but yeah he'd be good in both roles dude!!! ; )

As for DC Universe,,,,, HAWKMAN of course!!!



Copy an paste that dude =

I'm insulted you didn't see my JUSTICE LEAGUE CASTING lol.

Heh heh.

Multi/ Teabag " LMAO!!! : D

Tea @ Ewwwww lol.
LEEE777 - 10/7/2009, 10:08 AM
chr!st........Hawkman is so lame.......Captain Britain? Je$us.....I hope none of this talk jinxes Hollywood into bring that kind of d list comic sh!t to the big screen.

as for the 300 sequel? you never know....I kind of liked it as a 1 shot personally...But Frank is writing a sequel - I heard it deals with Greece or something - sort of a sidequel......Who knows. Frank changes his mind on sh!t so much. Who knows what the book will be about.
Keven - 10/7/2009, 10:13 AM
Leee-He would be spot on for Hawkman. I could definitely picture him in that bird helmet.
MatchesMalone - 10/7/2009, 10:13 AM
Keven-I don't think Hawkman is lame per se, but he definitely has a convoluted history. Maybe not a stand alone movie for him, but a slot in the JLA roster might be cool if they ever get around to making it and if they decide to go outside of the original seven.
MatchesMalone - 10/7/2009, 10:16 AM
Bird helmet, yeah @ MATCHES @ Lol!! ; D

Damn how good would it be if DC/WB made a HAWKWORLD movie!!!

Hey Tea, u like my new avatar? Its just for you!

Kev, I agree about Hawkman, well that is, I haven't read enough if him to know how cool a movie would be, but Cap Britain is awesome dude!
Rorschach01 - 10/7/2009, 10:40 AM
gerard butler said he woulld never undergo that severe style of regimented work out and diet again. He said it was hard as hell. I loved the first movie but I dont see how they could make another one better! prequel or sequel.

teabag - 10/7/2009, 10:49 AM
@ KeepingitReal: I don't blame him for saying that. The workout they used is absolutely brutal. It was practically ascetic in my book.
It's a little bit like my cutting routine except ten times worse.

I think this guy will be a cultural icon for the rest of his life because of his role as Leonidas. Personally I think it would be a shame if they never let him take a crack at another lead in a CBM. Somebody hugely popular.

Ryguy88 - 10/7/2009, 11:08 AM
someone said in another thread that butler would make a good kraven. i think i have to agree with that wholefartedly.

in a 300 sequel they could show the battle that the first one ended with. but i don't think thats really needed. the first one made its point. anything after that will feel forced, i think.

What sucked about 300, you ask?

EVERYTHING.

But then again, I'm more a history buff and VERY MUCH NOT a Frank Miller fan. I found his visualization hackneyed, melodramatic, and the slow-mo blood spurts about as dull as Pamela Anderson (ANY part of her).

Xerxes a 7-ft transsexual? Puh-LEEZ.

For my Thermopylae, I'll take Steven Pressfield over Frank Miller any day.

But then again, at least Miller didn't have them all butt-humping each other and prancing around with their boyfriends....

This movie was not just my cup of tea, and for the record, I never saw Sin City or any other Miller garbage.

superdog - 10/7/2009, 12:08 PM
not a fan of frank miller!, well that's cool i guess, i think miller and snyder are the only people who, actually make the movies EXACTLY like the comics they came from. i mean 300 that was scene for scene just like the book and also with watchmen, these are pretty much the only two movies that are axactly like the comics. isn't that what we want?
peterparker420 - 10/7/2009, 12:27 PM
LMAO....good stuff
HeckYeah - 10/7/2009, 12:27 PM
Bropus am i to assume that you also never read any Frank Miller "garbage"? Dude, TDKR is hands down the greatest Batman story ever written. I will agree that some of his other stuff is over rated, but there is no taking that away from him. Sin City is also a great comic..and very good movie.

300 was an ok comic, and an good movie..i do get what Bropus is saying about its failings. But, like PP420 said, its a fantastic adaptation.

@WARDS & MARIO-

There was an article on here about a month back that had an interview with Guy Richie where he talked about some upcoming projects and one of the films he mentioned was the sequel to Rock n Rolla!!!

I can't wait for the sequel to that film either.....quality cinema!!!


@TEABAG-

YOOOOO!!! Do you have the original vid with the dude knockin out the guy that jumps out of the trash can.....that was funny as hell!!!

Oy... Any of you dudes planning on seeing Law Abiding Citizen??

I sort of want to... But just for Butler. I'm pretty burnt out on the old revenge theme. Still it does look cool at times.

You know what's wierd? there are hundreds and hundreds of movies about vigilantism, but in the U.S. there are almost no vigilanties.
You guys from other nations ever hear about real vigilanty killings in your neck of the woods?

It's like something people like to fantasize about but no one actually does it.
DarthMulder - 10/7/2009, 2:43 PM
Hey, I cast Butler as Hawkman way back in my JL fan cast! I haven't seen him suggested before that, so that's MY pick!

Seriously though, I think I am the one who started the Butler/Hawkman thing. If I did not then I apologize :)

Important Point:

Even though I don't care for Frank Miller, that doesn't mean that if you do like Frank Miller, there's something wrong with you.

Unless you're Supermike. *rimshot*

[See? I'm catching on!]

Hell, we all love comic books, there's probably a little something wrong with ALL of us! Just like some folks find Hawkman dull, or Daredevil dull, or prefer Supergirl over Wonder Woman. Opinions are like elbows, most people gots at last two...

Ryan Reynolds should be cast as Frank Miller!!!!
