“We are Spartans!” King Leonidas, the hero of Zack Snyder’s 300, made his mark in 2006. The character played by Gerard Butler has become a true pop culture icon. Filmed with a budget of 65 million dollars, the work became a real phenomenon, which brought in 456 million GEL internationally.
The feature film was followed by a sequel in 2014: Rise of an Empire. This time the budget was almost doubled (110 million), but it was not enough to make the second film equal to the first.
With a worldwide gross of $337 million and mixed reviews, The Rise of an Empire, directed by Noam Murrow, disappointed fans greatly.
Since then, we thought the saga was dead and buried, especially after the Justice League conflict between Warner and Zack Snyder in 2017. Indeed, the director offered the studio a sequel to 300 called Blood and Ashes, but Warner refused and signed a divorce. Certificate from the filmmaker.
Six years later, at the microphone The Hollywood ReporterThe director talked about the possible resurrection of the 300 project: Blood and Ashes. “We’ve got the rights back, so if we want to, we can do it. I don’t know what the public demand is for such a homoerotic, super-violent, super-sexual movie. But maybe this is the perfect time.”
We have taken back the rights and can do so if we want to.
The project will be an ambitious epic centered on the relationship between Alexander the Great and his general Haphaestion. This new 300 explores a passionate romance between two men against the backdrop of armed conflict.
Zack Snyder began work on the script in 2019 before bringing Army of the Dead to Netflix in 2021. The filmmaker then began directing Rebel Moon Part 1, which was slated to hit the platform on December 22.
As for the second part, it will arrive on April 19, 2024. Will Zack Snyder be able to produce 300: Blood and Ashes after this? It will take some patience to figure it out.
Moreover, will superhero fashion, butterfly fashion make a comeback? Gladiator 2, which will be released on November 20, 2024, shows us the ultimate enthusiasm of the public for this genre.
