Frank Miller Has Finished Writing "300" Sequel!

The iconic comic writer and artist has finished the first draft of his "300" sequel graphic novel...
We reported a while back that Zack Snyder was interested in directing a sequel to the box office smashing "300" as soon as Frank Miller finsihed writing it. Well, he's done...at least with the first draft.

The Risky Biz Blog now reports that Miller has "recently completed a draft" of the graphic novel. It says that no screenwriter and no director has officially signed on, not even Zack Snyder. He has never said he was certain to return to direct a sequel, only that he wanted to. But I can't imagine his not having some part in it since "300" was his big break.

They don't add much more into the mix beyond that it's presenting a tough challenge for Warner Bros. "While Miller is still tweaking his version, the ball will soon rest in the court of studio, financing entity, and producers to determine how easily, if at all, they can translate the story to the big screen."

As reported previously, this sequel would take place between the Battle of Thermopylae and the Battle of Plataea (seen at the very end of 300). If that is how it will play out, its a fair bet none of the original cast will be back except possibly Davin Wenham and Lena Headey...because the rest are brown bread!

@ gunsmith

Nice title. It just sorta rolls off the tongue...
savedrockstar - 7/23/2009, 1:59 PM
Brown bread??!? HAHAHAHAHAAHAH Nice! Never heard that one.
DarthMulder - 7/23/2009, 2:19 PM
I WANT LENA HAEDAY TO COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!
shadowboxer - 7/23/2009, 2:32 PM
what is he going to call this 3002.... that would have fail written all over it, I like GUNSMITH's idea of calling it Sparta but there needs to be some kind of clue that it is a 300 sequel

@Shadowboxer@ you just want to see Haeday's boobs again...lol
Osiris - 7/23/2009, 2:39 PM
lol osiris who doesnt like boobs....and this movie is gonna be great if its made i just think you cant go wrong with frank miller i havent seen the spirit so i dont know about that but every movie ive seen made from his books have amazed me
SabretoothTiger - 7/23/2009, 2:42 PM
Cool.
Bandrews1 - 7/23/2009, 2:54 PM
This "sequel" must be about the battle of Salamis, it's the only way to save the idea: bring on Themistocles and forget about the spartans.
Merinator - 7/23/2009, 3:24 PM
Hell yeah! We're ready! Bring on 301!
BmanHall - 7/23/2009, 3:24 PM
Osiris that problem could be solved by having Sparta be written in the same font as 300, i think people would get it was a sequal that way
BOOK552 - 7/23/2009, 3:25 PM
Huh, I really didnt think this movie would get this far. Glad to hear it though.
longbowhunter - 7/23/2009, 3:46 PM
WILL LENA HEADEY COME BACK AS SHE-RA IN THE SEQUEL?!?!?



Check out the fan fic section in about 4 to 5 hours for my latest sketch!!!

I used to have confidence in Miller’s work until I learn he was responsible for Robocop 2 and 3. (Having written The Dark Knight Strikes Again didn’t help either).
Verdugo - 7/23/2009, 4:44 PM
Everybody has a "Superman Returns" on they're resume. Can't win'em all i guess.
Shaman - 7/23/2009, 5:11 PM
True, those Robocops were just for the paycheck. Everyone does it. Except Moore who of course is completely infallible in every way!!!

TDKSA is pretty bad though. I read it again recently to see if i was being too harsh in hating it. I wasn't. He tries to cram too many characters and ideas into the story and it just becomes an almighty cluster [frick].
Rorschach01 - 7/23/2009, 5:27 PM
Well i won't read it then LOL :P I did like TDKR and Year One though. Gotta give'em that!
Shaman - 7/23/2009, 5:48 PM
lena headey and david wenham are gonna have sex on the edge of a cliff in this movie..uhh wait that was the shitty underworld prequel...oops...lena heady and rhona mitra sex scene?...anyone??
Anil Rickly - 7/23/2009, 6:33 PM
I trust Frank Miller but uh...yeah.
harrisonefreeman - 7/23/2009, 7:09 PM
Eh - if its a good story, I'll bite. But a '300' film without Gerard Butler!? We shall see...
JonAtUnCanny - 7/23/2009, 8:06 PM
I'll take a sex scene with Rhona Mitra in it any day of the week, but damn it I want to see boobies this time!!!
Osiris - 7/23/2009, 8:13 PM
Ya I don't have faith in Miller's writing anymore. TDKSA and All Star Batman And Robin are supposed to be terrible. He actually had Batman refer to himself as "the goddamn Batman" and supposedly completely ruined the character. Apparently he had Batman land his Batmobile on some cops. So, I don't have much faith in anything that he's recently written.
ElBeaster - 7/23/2009, 11:34 PM
Anil- That's the best damn synopsys i've herad of in a long long time!!! Rhona and Lena [frick]in' on a cliff :))
Shaman - 7/24/2009, 6:39 AM
elbeaster, TDKSA is not terrible, just very disappointing after the awesomeness of TDKR and Allstar is [frick]ing brilliant! Don't listen to the nay sayeres. Yeas, Bats is as hardass and insane as he has ever been, but so what? Hes great that way! And he doesn't kill anyone as nuts as he gets, hell even Burtons Batman killed people.
Rorschach01 - 7/24/2009, 8:29 AM
isn't kind of weird how thats something that gets overlooked in the batman films?? batman would never condone anyone being killed. he killed joker in burton's batman, stood by and watched as catwoman killed that schrek guy in batman returns (i can't remember how penguin died in that) and in batman begins, the whole, "i won't kill you, but i don't have to save you" thing. thats ridiculous, batman wouldn't let anyone die if he was capable of saving them, even al ghul
CorndogBurglar - 7/24/2009, 11:29 AM
well i found All Star for ten bucks and passed it up because of all the negative reviews. But i'll see if they still have it and read it. I'll take your word since your a Sandman fan ;)
