One of these days I’ve got to watch that 300 movie. Its just sitting there on my dvd rack, waiting for me to watch it.
Ah wll
btw,,,, I saw the X-Files trailer with Hulk and WOW was it boring, dull, and they both looked bored and dull.
The way they worked in “I want to believe” into one of the lines in the film, almost made me spitup my drink on the guy in the next row down.

Great job guys!

One place you could go with “300″ is to the other side of the country and pick up the Battle of Salamis. What some historians say is the single most important battle in history!

Damon will return for a 4th if an only if the same director returns and it will happen obviously with how good Ultimatum was, and how successful it was (rightfully so)

The 300 film will most likely be a prequel to bring back *some of the characters from what is being said.

But before that, those same ppl are going to do “War of the Gods”, a big epic that will use the same ideas and style as 300 but will be far more vast. The day after the interview you reference, there was to be an announcement of the greenlight and deal with Universal. Not sure if that happened or not.

exaxtly stephen! there is no other reason to make one other than the money. I think even the people who liked the first one will agree that a second 300 is a terrible idea.

Knightley and Paltrow in Shakespeare? Argh. Not for me.
Hopkins was in a Titus Andronicus movie that was a bit out there and interesting.

As for 300 again, I don’t get that at all. I know there are plenty of battles to use from Ancient Greece, but that was a standout one and could keep the story on it. In truth, it will likely just be more shouting and killing. Why do it?

A prequel…Frank Miller has sold out too…I guess anyone can be bought and he had held out for so many years to keep his properties from being raped by Hollywood and now he agrees to do this….Let it be….It was a good stand alone story that needs no prequel or sequel..It is what it is…

NOOOOO! Not another 300! I guess I should have seen it coming since the last one did so well, I really don’t know why though.

I’m a huge fan of the Bourne movie series – hopefully they do a good job with a new one. The problem with a new one might be the loss of his vulnerability (which made the character more approachable) if they decide to go all-out super-assassin.

His reticence is what made him appealing as a character and is what was for the most part missing from “Wanted.”

I’ll have to admit – I’m not a big fan of the movies – they’re inter -changeable to me.
Distracting – yes.

The second coming that most think?

No!

I’m not crazy about the idea of a Bourne sequel, especially after the last movie wrapped up the main story. Can’t they just leave it be?? That being said, I will check it out simply because the last 3 have been excellent.
