Giving life to a bad idea, thanks to money for everyone concerned, director Zack Snyder revealed some plot details about the upcoming pre/sequel to 300.

According to Snyder, the action will take place sometime between the Battle of Thermopylae and the Battle of Plataea, with the narrator Dilios re-telling the story of King Leonidas and the Spartans to a new group of warriors at the end of the first film.

Frank Miller is reportedly working on writing and drawing the graphic novel upon which the second film will be based on. They will start adapting it to the screen once he has finished it.

In an interesting note, Snyder noted that he won’t have any input in the sequel as he wants it to be a creation entirely of Miller’s. Let’s see how that turns out.
