While Zack Snyder may seem as if he’s on the outs with Warner Bros., his film 300 was the first made under Warner Bros. – which boasted a success for both. The Frank Miller and Lynn Varley adaptation grossed over $456 million around the world and even continued with 300: Rise of an Empire. Which, did underperform, but still – you can’t deny the impact 300 has had in film.
Snyder recently revealed he had written a third film during the pandemic, but that Warner Bros. shot the idea down:
“I just couldn’t really get my teeth into it. Over the pandemic, I had a deal with Warner Bros. and I wrote what was essentially going to be the final chapter in ‘300.’ But when I sat down to write it I actually wrote a different movie. I was writing this thing about Alexander the Great, and it just turned into a movie about the relationship between Hephaestion and Alexander. It turned out to be a love story. So it really didn’t fit in as the third movie.”
Snyder continued saying:
“But there was that concept, and it came out really great. It’s called ‘Blood and Ashes,’ and it’s a beautiful love story, really, with warfare. I would love to do it, [WB] said no… you know, they’re not huge fans of mine. It is what it is.”
