300 & Panda sequels

Steve over at Collider spoke with 300 producers Mark Canton, Gianni Nunnari and Bernie Goldmann at the recent Saturn Awards and got them to reveal that not only are they working on a Blu-ray edition of the film but they’re planning a sequel and/or prequel. How they plan to do that for a film based on an historic event is unknown but this is Hollywood, baby. They can sequelize the shit out of anything and, in fact, they’ve got Frank Miller busy working up a brand new CGI enhanced story. Read the rest of what they had to say, including who they’ve gotten to direct another 300 style-film, WAR OF GODS, over HERE.

In related news, someone over at the Animation Guild Blog recently revealed some news about a KUNG FU PANDA sequel and about a hand drawn addition to the original KUNG FU PANDA dvd. He says: “But down on the lower levels, artists are working. A story crew has started early work in Kung Fu Panda, the Sequel, even while animators are hand-drawing new material for the DVD of Kung Fu Panda, the original.” Read more about it over HERE.
