Here is the new trailer for Sucker Punch, and it looks awesome! Described as a fantasy action film, it was written and directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen).

Tonight We Dine In Hell 2: Electric Bugaloo, '300' Sequel in Works



Yes, there will be a sequel to 300. Or rather, a prequel. The prequel part makes sense, considering [spoiler alert] pretty much everyone dies in the first film. 300 director/co-writer Zack Snyder and fellow 300 co-writer Kurt Johnstad have started writing Xerxes. No one has been named as director of the new movie yet, but it seems likely Snyder will again assume that role.

Frank Miller, the writer and artist behind 300, is behind this project as well. He has already penned the six part book, also called Xerxes, which will be released by Dark Horse Comics next year. The story follows Xerxes and his search for godhood.

Zack Snyder plans for Xerxes to have a similar look and feel as 300, so prepare for more strikingly intense visuals, and fierce fighting scenes. I say bring on more super slo mo!
