Collider spoke with 300 producers Mark Canton, Gianni Nunnari and Bernie Goldmann at the recent Saturn Awards and got them to reveal that not only are they working on a Blu-ray edition of the film but they’re also planning a sequel and/or prequel. Frank Miller is busy working on a brand new story and director Zack Snyder says that if they think it could work as a movie, they’re going to make it!

I know some people would prefer 300 to stay as a standalone film, however this is Hollywood. 300 was a surprise hit for Warner Bros, having septupled (x7) its budget, so it makes business sense to jump on the sequel bandwagon.

What are your thoughts?

    I already own a 300 Blu-Ray edition. Does this mean some kind of get-fans-to-repurchase-for-special-features ploy?

    As long as its a prequel I'd go see it. I thought the cast and the visual style of this film were the best parts of it. The story was interesting, but lets face it, it played second fiddle to the battles and Leonitus running around shouting at everyone.

    I think if you have a huge blog like you do then you should learn how to spell sense… and not spell it like sence .

    I don't think it would work. This was supposed to be one of the most incredible battles in history, and it surely was an epic movie. The sequel would have to be ten times as exciting, and I'm not sure the Spartans of that time have any other claim to fame. Are there any history buffs out there who might know a thing or two about the time period and could shed a little light on possible storylines?

    I apologise for putting a 'c' instead of an 's'. I had just woken up :)

    A non connected film in the same visual style could work. Like corpse bride was to nightmare before christmas.
