Nope...there was an idea to come out with a movie about Thermopylae based on the book "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield.
Unfortunately, it looks like it's having trouble getting off the ground. Why? I don't know...perhaps because of the other movies that have come out with varrying success such as Alexander, and Troy. Bruce Willis had taken an interest in it, as well as a few other notables (including George Clooney), but who knows. Maybe they're just sitting on it for now. I have "heard" that happens a lot with movie scripts sometimes.
Anyway, here's one link for it with the basic info:

I think story-wise this movie has great potential, but I think the timing is off...so maybe that's why they're waiting. But i googled "gates of fire movie" and didn't get much in the way of recent information. Who knows.
Even Steven Pressfield's website had nothing on it....maybe another search under the production company may yield more results.
