Last night I attended the 34th Annual Saturn Awards here in
Los Angeles
. While there, I managed to get video interviews with a ton of the winners and presenters, and here�s the next one�a crazy interview with Producers Mark Canton, Gianni Nunnari and Bernie Goldmann.
They were there for the movie "300," and while the interview started quite slow�by the end I got them to reveal a few big scoops.
The first is they have landed director Tarsem Singh ("The Fall," "The Cell") to helm "War of Gods!" They say it�s another Greek film like "300" was. They say they�re going to use the stuff they learned on "300" to make the film and they said it�s going to start filming in the first quarter of next year. For more info�watch the interview.
The other bit of news is on "300." They announced they�re working on a new Blu-ray edition of the film and they dropped a bomb�they�re trying to make a sequel/prequel to the film.
At first I didn�t believe them, but later in the night I spoke to Zack Snyder again (interview is here) and he confirmed what they said. He said Frank Miller is working on a new story of some kind and if they all really like it they�ll make it! Crazy news....I know!
Anyway, watch the interview. It�s broken up into two parts and what we talked about is above each part.
Producers Mark Canton, Gianni Nunnari and Bernie Goldmann � Part 1
- Did they ever think they�d be at the Saturn Awards
- I ask if what they�re working on now � they say a prequel to 300?!
- War of Gods talk � another Greek epic they�re working on � they said they just closed the deal. It�s not based on the video game
- Watch as I try to get some info�.
- Gianni says it�s a film about a war between the Gods and the humans
- I ask again about another 300 movie�he says they�re talking with Frank and Zack about something.
- I ask how hard is it to get Frank Miller right now with how busy he is
- More War of Gods talk � they reveal it�s Tarsem�s next project!
Collider video or audio content ... very cool stuff
Producers Mark Canton, Gianni Nunnari and Bernie Goldmann � Part 2
- War of Gods talk � they say Variety should have a story today � it�s two writers on it.
- They also say it�s Tarsem�s next project! Mark Canton says he�ll finally have the budget to make an epic project
- He says it�s much more structured than his previous stuff.
- Mark says they�re doing a new 300 Blu-ray edition!
- They say War of Gods is going in first quarter of 2009
- I ask about the budget for the movie and they say it�s going to be very similar to 300
