300 part 2:

Despite how the film ends, director Zack Snyder has revealed some possible sequel plans for his blockbuster epic, 300. MTV Splash Page recently spoke with Snyder who talked about a potential idea for a 300 sequel.

 

"There's something that happens in history between Leonidas dying at the Hot Gates and Platea," Snyder said. "That's a year that's left out of the [original] movie. A lot happened."

 

Although it was dramatized terrifically, Snyder's 300 told the story of the Battle of Thermopylae, which occurred in 480 BC. The film's final moments mention that one year later, at Platea, 10,000 Spartan warriors helped defeat a huge Persian force; in a historical context, an equally important event occurred when the Athenian navy crushed the Persians in the battle of Salamis. According to Snyder, "300 Part II" will focus on the intense 12 months when these battles were taking place.

 

"Frank is definitely working on an idea," Snyder explained. "If Frank comes up with a great idea and draws something cool, there's no reason why we wouldn't make another movie."

Behind the scenes of Iron Man 2:

 

 

 

Full Metal Panic:

Mandalay Pictures has acquired theatrical rights to and will develop a big-screen version of "Full Metal Panic," a Japanese manga series that blends action, comedy and high school romance. The property derives from writer Shoji Gatoh's series about a teenage anti-terrorist commando named Sousuke Sagara who is given the mission to protect a high-school girl with mystical powers. "Panic," which is set in a world almost exclusively without adults, is known for mixing visceral action with wry comedy.

 

Zac Efron's name has surfaced in connection with "Panic," with the actor holding a conversation on the project. Efron is also honing the action-adventure side of his career with a potential attachment to the Warner Bros. adventure "Jonny Quest."

 

Born as a serialized novel from Gatoh and the illustrator Shiki Douji, "Panic" was developed in the early 2000's as a Japanese anime by the Asian firm Kyoto Animation and eventually also yielded a spinoff series. An English-language version was produced and released in the U.S. on home video by ADV Films.

 

 

 

The Umbrella Academy:

Mark Bomback is getting out his parasol for "The Umbrella Academy." The scribe has been tapped to adapt the Dark Horse comic created by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and set up at Universal. Dark Horse's Mike Richardson is producing.

Hargreeves, an alien disguised as a wealthy entrepreneur. Hargreeves collected the members of the group shortly after their birth and trained them to save the world, and after his death, they carry on his plan. The comic first came out as a six-issue miniseries in 2007, winning an Eisner Award to the surprise of many. A second miniseries is being published. Bomback's writing credits include the DC Comics adaptation "Constantine," "Live Free or Die Hard" and "Race to Witch Mountain." Repped by Endeavor and Anonymous Content, the scribe is working on "Jack the Giant Killer" at New Line.

In the movie, Mara would play the “new Nancy Thompson”, played in the original movies by Heather Langenkamp. Mara will join a cast that includes Jackie Earle Haley (as Freddy Krueger), Kyle Gallner and Thomas Dekker. Samuel Bayer is directing. Filming is scheduled to begin next month in Chicago. The movie tells the story of Freddy Krueger, a serial child molester who is murdered by angry parents and returns with a burnt face and a razor glove to terrorize teens in their dreams.
