Snyder Defends '300' as Gayest Film Ever | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 16, 2026 Duration: 1:19

Zack Snyder’s latest film, “The Last Photograph,” is sparking fresh controversy over alleged homophobia and transphobia — accusations he’s faced before, notably with his 2006 hit “300.” Defending himself to Variety, Snyder boldly claims “300” is “the gayest movie ever made,” recalling past press moments where he was asked if he was pro-gay or pro-NRA — answering he was “a tiny bit of both,” but emphatically pro-gay. He even suggests the film has a transformative effect, turning straight viewers into self-identified gays. Despite lukewarm critical reviews, “300” was a box office juggernaut, grossing over $450 million on a $60 million budget — though its sequel failed to match that magic.
