Well, they'll probably get it but first they'll be treated with a movie prequel to 300. Frank Miller is indeed working on a prequel to his graphic novel 300, the project, titled Xerxes, is set 10 years previous to 300.<br /><br />The studios are definitely thinking about turning it into a film. No wonder, considering the original earned $456 million at the box office. Besides director Zack Snyder who directed 300 already expressed his interest for the new film. So we may consider that the movie Xerxes is a done deal and that it will enter production soon.<br /><br />Frank Miller recently talked about his 300 prequel, Xerxes:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_38S3GvMLsqg/Syd2BhACc9I/AAAAAAAAAJA/qoGcSym_Umk/s1600-h/Frank_Miller.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 56px; height: 84px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_38S3GvMLsqg/Syd2BhACc9I/AAAAAAAAAJA/qoGcSym_Umk/s200/Frank_Miller.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415426845346788306" border="0" /></a><center><div style="width: 425px;" align="left">"It's the battle of Marathon through my lens.

But hey, we can't blame Frank Miller for messing around with history: at the end he's going to deliver a gorgeous action-packed show after all.<br /><br />An artwork from the Xerxes graphic novel:<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><em>(Click on the picture to enlarge.)</em></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AeBqy13Vd_4/TAZ_xC6c4oI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Sov6zBpmWR8/s1600/xerxes.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AeBqy13Vd_4/TAZ_xC6c4oI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Sov6zBpmWR8/s400/xerxes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478206477315138178" border="0" /></a>More details about the movie Xerxes should leak online soon, get ready for the battle of Marathon!<br />:)<br /><br />Update 1 - 12/29/2010 - Cover of Frank Miller's Xerxes:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AeBqy13Vd_4/TRvtMBo3NxI/AAAAAAAAABY/ktTa8lmcSCA/s1600/Xerxes.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AeBqy13Vd_4/TRvtMBo3NxI/AAAAAAAAABY/ktTa8lmcSCA/s400/Xerxes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556295356145678098" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3684898022751944478-896296130334671606?l=300-battle-of-artemisia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Xerxes Moviehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508429611488566578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684898022751944478.post-74182989769882106151999-03-03T06:54:00.000-08:002010-04-12T06:54:31.796-07:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3684898022751944478-7418298976988210615?l=300-battle-of-artemisia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Xerxes Moviehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508429611488566578noreply@blogger.com0
