www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/butler%20dreams%20of%20another%20300_1079656Scottish actor GERARD BUTLER would love to revisit his hit 300 movie, but has no idea how a prequel or a sequel would work. The star played Spartan king Leonidas in the surprise 2006 hit, and Butler loved everything about the movie. It also brought him a lot of attention, which he has failed to match since. He explains, "You've got to move on and it's a shame because there's a part of you that thinks, 'I was so attached to that movie and it's success and what it meant to me.' "There's a part of you that wants to pull that off again... I heard some back room chatter about another 300 movie. I don't know if it would be a sequel or a prequel but I haven't read anything. I can't see it myself, the idea in general. I'm not sure which way they would go with that. "When Russell Crowe did Gladiator he didn't come back and do another one. Like mine, his character died." 09/07/2008 11:07:07 PM Click on the link, there are some pretty hot pictures.

I wouldn't like to see a "300" sequel or prequel - not at all !!! First of all, King Leonidas died so it's unlikely to rise him from deads and make a sequel. Then his prior to Thermopylae life wasn't any more or any less interesting than of any Spartan king. Thermopylae was the moment in time that leaded him to myth and he had his share in "300". Anything more would be an insult in his history. Besides, with another "300" Gerard would be forever typecasted in these macho roles, which - honestly speaking - aren't a challenge for an actor. Not the Oscar winning type of roles.... It's not a matter of fame yet a matter of versatility and great acting....I hope Gerard will put his priorities right......

Although another movie in a loin cloth would not hurt my feelings.....I know.... Gerry as Tarzan!!!

I agree. Even though he looked sexy hot I don't think he should do it again. More and likely it would go to DVD. I want to see him do something different. Maybe a real comdey. Or HORROR...oooo. ;D
