Gerard Butler Skeptical of 300 Prequel

Source:Edward Douglas

September 4, 2008

At the Toronto press conference for the upcoming Guy Ritchie crime flick RocknRolla, Superhero Hype! asked Gerard Butler if he'd heard anything more about the recent rumors of a prequel or sequel to his blockbuster action movie 300 that have come to light in recent interviews with director Zack Snyder and the producers.

Unfortunately, Butler hasn't heard anything more then we have, and he seemed rather dubious of the film's franchise potential. "I've heard some backroom chatter, but nothing more, so I don't know if it would be a sequel or a prequel. I don't want say anymore than that, because I really don't know. I haven't read anything. I can't see it myself--sequel for me absolutely not, but I just mean the idea generally, I'm really not sure which way they would go with that."

Look for more from Butler from the press conference of RocknRolla, which opens on Wednesday, October 8 in New York, L.A. and Toronto.

I don't see how 300 could have a sequel or prequel. I think it works best as a stand alone story.

I don't see it either

Posted by: thoraz on September 4, 2008 at 16:25:26

they can't make a sequel, that would be boring, but a prequel I would see...

Posted by: robert on September 4, 2008 at 16:25:56

300 hundred sucked and so will watchmen the book sucked yarbles, o and FIRST

I think if they do a sequel, it would be interesting. The Battle of Plataeya (or however it's spelled) and the true end of the war. As for a prequel, I dunno. I don't see it having any real legs to stand on.

We'll see how this goes.

Zach,

It's Battle of Plataea. Close though.

They have a lot of more story to tell after 300. As Zach mentioned...the Battle of Plataea would be a great 2nd movie!

Why can't we just have a movie...a good one...that stands on its own. Why does there have to be a prequel? Move on to making OTHER great movies!

Yeah, seems pretty pointless, hence the fact miller never made anymore stories himself.
@robert, you got owned on so many levels there, first! - dont think so, plus anyone with intelligence that read the watchmen will recognise that its probably the best 'graphic novel'ever, dont call it a book, ask alan moore.

Watchmen will not suck

I wonder if all the people who post "first" say that when finally move out of their moms basement

300...pasch! They should do the epic 1776! The completely fake true story of the American revolution, with Gerald Butler's rubber man boobs as George Washington shoving the US flag into some Red Coated scum.
"This...is...Philadelphia!"
"Tonight...we dine...in New Jersey!"

No sequal or prequel...Snyder should next direct the Halo movie.

Posted by: d serious on September 4, 2008 at 17:17:16

both are possible, but a sequel without butler wouldn't be good(king leonidas made 300) a prequel maybe only if the story is good

Posted by: Gopic on September 4, 2008 at 17:18:56

Its hilarious to see morons who say first that still suck mommies saggy **** in there basments. Grow up. You disgust me.

Anyways... I agree that 300 should be a stand alone movie. I would not do anything more to it.

Posted by: Rorshoq on September 4, 2008 at 17:20:44

I CAN'T WAIT FOR 301...! OR MAYBE 299!

Posted by: John1 on September 4, 2008 at 17:32:42

^ LOL!!!!

Posted by: Spector on September 4, 2008 at 17:47:37

I'd love to see some battles form the Peloponnesian war or something after like Paltea as mentioned above me.

Posted by: Voice of the People on September 4, 2008 at 17:58:14

Can one of the people that enjoy claiming "First" please explain to me why you do so? I see that on the pages and never could figure out the reasoning behind it. Honestly.. What is the purpose of that??? 5 dollars to whomever gives the best answer. :)

Posted by: chris on September 4, 2008 at 17:59:02

301... the Lost Spartan.....
This time...its one against a bajillion.

haha

300 sucks

Posted by: Super Chris on September 4, 2008 at 18:08:35

They really shouldn't make a sequel or prequel. Leave 300 the way it is.

Posted by: White Folks on September 4, 2008 at 18:11:39

300 is best as a stand alone story.

I always wondered and now have my answer.
They do let morons out during the day.
Heh, who knew.
