  Miller is very much the shit, I have confidence he can pull something decent, probably not bether or even equal, as 300 is something that seemed to slow cook on his brain since forever, as one can tell every other comic of his, and even the robocop scripts would wander to that battle before he put that in ink, but still worty of being a second part.

  Buttler/Leonidas could return if he writes it as a prequel, wich they are considering, but frankly, Id much rather see the huge battle of the remaining spartans amongst the rest of the greeks against the persians, like the original movie ends wile they are going to war.

  The problem was it was a play on reality. That’s why I loved it. It’s based on true events that were messed around with to get it right. What events could he base it on that would even be something that could actually happen?

  Dude, the battle of Plataea, its was the historic direct continuation of the battle of thermopylae that happened in 300, and is exactly where the movie ended when Dilios finished telling his story to an army of thousands of spartans and greeks wich he is leading.

  As for a prequel with Leonidas, yea not much is known about him so you can hardly make a prequel based on reality, but there is a lot of stuff from the 300 fiction you could pull a story from, maybe just a few shorter stories told by Dilios in the rests of battle, making it both a prequel and a sequel…

  Ah, you know what, I forgot that that was a real battle. I still think 2 consecutive non-stop fighting movies would be just too much. I mean, the second Matrix was non-stop, no story filmmaking and it made my head hurt.

  Yea, but Matrix 2 few story tidbits got too metha for its own good with that bullshit with the architect and whatnot, at least that what gave me a headache, the action scenes with the cool car chase and the like were decent enuff…

  Plus Miller has proven himselve time and time again as a superv writer, the Wacho Bros have only writen two good not really great original stories, Bound and the first Matrix, hardly worth the comparision…

  Well, the Matrix was actually written by a lady in the 80s (she also wrote Terminator) and was in court and kept out of the papers by the big studios but she ended up winning over a billion bucks. So, they’ve only written one original idea.

  I need to read up on that battle, because you’ve peaked my interest.

  Wow, Im reading on that rigth now, I had neaver heard, Im moderatley familiar with her. Its not like I had a huge respect for the pair but I now do even less… Theyve based their whole carrer on stolen work.
