Zack Snyder Calls 300 the ‘Gayest Movie Ever Made’

Snyder said the film drew straight viewers into homoerotic imagery and defended his work against accusations of fascism and homophobia.

  • Director Zack Snyder recently described his 2006 comic book adaptation 300 as "one of the gayest movies ever made" while promoting his latest film, The Last Photograph.
  • Following negative reviews for The Last Photograph at the Toronto International Film Festival , critics labeled Snyder "homophobic" and "fascist," prompting the director to defend his artistic vision.
  • Addressing fascism accusations, Snyder argued violence in his films affects all characters equally and insisted "masculinity is a spectrum." He stated he is "pro-gay" despite ongoing backlash.
  • Critics remain skeptical that 300's homoeroticism defends against fascism claims, arguing Snyder calling his own movie "the gayest" does not negate broader concerns about the film.
  • Snyder also expressed interest in developing a zombie project based on the comic Dead Samurai set in feudal Japan, alongside potential adaptations of The Fountainhead and Rick & Morty.
