Apparently a $60-70 million dollar budget will suffice when it comes to Frank Miller's Battle of Thermopylae movie '300'. According to James Christopher's article which is featured in Blog Number 112, '300' could be a turning point with respect to financial conservatism.
If this movie is a success, it seems that many more studios would be willing to opt for this technology rather than then spending the big bucks on the movie sets and protracted shoots.
It seems that Hollywood will be watching how this turns out since it could impact movies in the future. Therefore, who knows we could see another Battle of Thermopylae movie in the future, like..........Steven Pressfield's 'Gates of Fire'.
Who knows, anything would be possible if costs could be scaled back. Therefore, I would be curious to hear your opinion.

Hi Cat~
I couldn't agree with you with more. If you don't have a good story, all the money in the world spent promoting it and trying to make it look better won't make it any better.

Hi Miyuki~
I hope that '300' does well! This would mean that there could be an opportunity down the road for Steven Pressfield's 'Gates of Fire' to be adapted to the big screen.
Cheers,
John
