It’s very sad to see the reaction to this project…Snyder/Miller!!!! I’m sold. 300 was the best colaberation since Rodriguez/Miller that was only surpassed by the Moore/Snyder film…all these fanboys taking adaptions too seriously, transfering the medium to film and re-telling the story for those you don’t read the Graphic Novels is an art in itself…these guys have mastered it.

JUST SHUT UP AND WATCH THE MOVIE

I can not understand why nobody is not calling Mr.Miller a racist.
I’m sure that he is going to tell more lies in this movie.

I could imagine maybe a short film centering on Xerxes (like 15-30min.) released as an extra but not a full length film for theatrical release. But yeah with the way 300 ended I find it odd they would go for a prequel instead of a sequel because I know I was not the only one that got amped at that ending shot with that army of Spartans about to go into battle.

In reply to Dan. I'm actually trying to reply to everyone, not just Dan. xerxes was a bad ass. His family was the most diplomatic and kind rulers of the ancient world. He trained nearly as hard as Spartans and killed a lion by himself when he was 16. I think this movie wil be sick.every movie based on a frank miller novel thus far has been amazing, so I have no reason to doubt him. Open ur mind, there's more to history than western civilizations.

In reply to George the Spartan.

it’s funny to say that George. I just finished a screenplay called MARATHON. It’s mostly based on the real story.

Title: MARATHON.

Logline: A tired and wounded soldier recalls his battles in the army and his lost love as he fights his way through the Greek mountains on a perilous journey to warn his fellow Athenians of the invading Persians.

300, movie was bad enough, it was so comic that Mr Miller should have done Carton movie instead. If Spartan and their ancestor wree so brave, how could 1500 years later, turban headed Turks invade and colonise Greece for 400 years!!!lool Calling the movie Xerxes is not good at all. He hasn’t got anything to do with Marathon!!, it was his father, Darius who led the invasion of Greece , it should simply called Marathon. Its like making a movie about first world war and call the movie Napoleon :)), Miller and Snider are losers who try to make big money by their cheap jingoistic bastardization of history

In reply to DirkAnger. I agree with this as well, I believe that would be the battle held at Plataea. This battle definetly deserves to be the sequal if youve read about the battle and there would be no shortage of Spartan action.

If it’s a movie about the Battle of Marathon then call it Marathon. If Miller is going to involve Marathon the way he did Plataea and give the Persians more screen time then he should center the plot around the Ionian Revolt and Athen’s support of it which led to the Persian attack on mainland Greece.

I hope with Marathon they do justice to the different hoplites as not all Greek soldiers were nearly naked in combat regardless of what vase artifacts show us lol.
