Prequel of 300 has a title!

Frank Miller decided to break the silence code and reveal us fresh information about the 300 prequel which he will direct. It seems that the movie will name Xerxes and its action is placed during the Marathon battle.

The stage director said that he finished the scenery and preparations are made for graphic design.

The battle of Marathon took place at 26 miles of Athens and was given between the Athenian army and the Persian one, lead by Darius I, in 490 BC. Modern history estimates that the greek army had almost 10 000 soldiers, while Persians had double at least. The atheniens beat the Persian army, and legends says that an Athenian ran 42 kilometers from the battlefield to Athens in order to announce the great victory. From here comes the name of marathon competition.

We still don’t know if Rodrigo Santoro will come back to take Xerxes role, as we don’t know if we will have the same approach with shaped bodies worked at gym as in 300.
