What is the story behind the production, or lack of, with Gates of Fire?? Is it still possibly in the works? When was this?

Sounds amazing and I hadn't heard of this before

I think it is permanently shelved. From what I recall, they optioned it from Pressfield and he was either going to draft a script for them - or at least consult, so he was completely on board.

Mann was initially all in, as was Willis. This was in the wake of Gladiator's success so early/mid aughts. Then, Troy, Alexander and the like tanked. The studio lost interest and I think it last had some life right before 300 went into production.

ETA: The best place for this would be on cable, and told over 10 to 12 hours, though.
