A little synopsis of what happened during the first 299 . . . ?
That is the most plausible story line I've seen in a LONG time.There was this group of frat guys on their way to a toga party at the Delta house. Somebody mentioned that they had to bring their own beer, and being broke college kids, they armed up to go rob a convenience store. Their DPMS and Hesse DI AR's jammed at the worst time and they got overrun by AK wielding meth heads from Iran that were running the 7-Eleven.
Producer: "We want to do a sequel to 300."
Writer: "But everybody died."
Producer: "So what? I've got a development deal with MGM for a Thelma and Louise sequel. They bounced."
Writer: "But you can't write a decent script about a bunch of people who die before the story starts."
Producer: "What is this BS about a story? Just gimme some pages with bodybuilders hacking each other apart, throw in a bunch of opportunties for the Director of Photography to frame up some homoerotic set pieces, and leave it to me to get the financing."
Writer: "But that would just be crap."
Producer: "This is Hollywood, kid! A script isn't a good story; it's a tool to attract enough investors to keep the studio execs in hookers and blow for another quarter! If crap sells, we sell crap. Now get to work!"
Writer: "Yessir. One sequel, comin' up."
