300 Set to Go to Battle Again | Movie News | 7/1/2008
It's official: 300 is set to go to battle again. Frank Miller is writing the second take on the epic that’s based on his graphic novel, with Zack Snyder expected to direct. Snyder's final decision will depend on how Miller's approach plays out. It's not clear yet whether the next 300 be a prequel or a spin-off of the Spartan tale, especially when most of the original warriors (including King Leonidas/aka the uber-buff Gerard Butler) were killed off.While another edition has been rumored all along, it was only last week that the second film was confirmed to suit up for more action.

The Christmas Day movie slate just got a little fuller. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lionsgate has moved its adaptation of The Spirit, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson, up to a Dec. 25 release date. Written and directed by Frank Miller (Sin City, 300) the flick is based on the comic-book series created by the late Will Eisner, and was originally set to bow Jan. 16, 2009.Producers said fans at last month's Comic-Con confirmed their feeling that an earlier release of the "irresistable piece of entertainment" would be prudent.
