Some years ago, at a used book store in North Hollywood, I found a pre-publication copy of Gates Of Fire with notes indicating that film rights had been optioned by George Clooney.
As we all know, nothing has happened -- yet.
Now Clooney has a lot more clout in Hollywood so that if he still wanted to make this film he could, but will he?
Gates Of Fire could be a very good feature film, but I wonder if it might not work better as a multi-part "series" on HBO? Not the same visual impact perhaps, but more time to tell the story and at least as much freedom as a feature film would allow.
As for Miller's The 300...
It is an amusing graphic novel, no doubt it will be an amusing film.
