"There's something that happens in history between Leonidas dying at the Hot Gates and Platea," Snyder said. "That's a year that's left out of the [original] movie. A lot happened."
Although it was dramatized terrifically, Snyder's 300 told the story of the Battle of Thermopylae, which occurred in 480 BC. The film's final moments mention that one year later, at Platea, 10,000 Spartan warriors helped defeat a huge Persian force; in a historical context, an equally important event occurred when the Athenian navy crushed the Persians in the battle of Salamis. According to Snyder, "300 Part II" will focus on the intense 12 months when these battles were taking place.
"Frank is definitely working on an idea," Snyder explained. "If Frank comes up with a great idea and draws something cool, there's no reason why we wouldn't make another movie."

DAMN HOLLYWOOD! There is no reason to make another 300 film. Miller hasn't revisited the story of the Spartans yet, so now he's going to do it for the sake of a movie adaption? Is anybody pissed about this? And God forbid they make a sequel without using something that Frank creates.

Awsome, I think a sequel would be good the battle's should be even better than the first ones. If not on the same level.

Loved 300 but sequels have a way of disappointing.

I don't know about this. The first one was alright, but it's definitely a stand-alone movie. Frank Miller has a bit of a reputation for milking something for everything it's worth (apparently he tried to sue someone over the "look" of Sin City). This definitely seems to be the case here.

Oh, here we go. A useless sequel. Didn't like the first one. I hated the movie just as much as i hated the book. It's history lessons for idiots.

Structure (ONSTRA)
I'd agree with the fact that this can make up another story. but plz, don't call it a sequel to such masterpiece, Like please. I'd maybe do it and call it another name at least. but the story could make up a great movie, for sure.
+ guys, I really don't know how you can hate a movie this great. this definitely popped off my movie page.
of course, that is only my own opinion.

dramatized terrifically? More like dramatized terribly. The real story is so much better than the macho porn presented to us.

I wouldn't say 300 was overrated I thought Snyder put just as much thought in it as he did Watchmen.

The first one as good, but vastly overrated. I don't know about this, but I'm willing to give it a try.

The Narrator: The Better Man
I was worried about this but Miller seems excited about it, so if they can find something, I am more than welcome to it. They should follow Dilios (David Wenham's) story is this film if they make it.

It would definitely be money in the bank. As long as Miller's alright with it, then go right ahead
