Gerard Butler remembers the filming of Zack Synder’s 300: “Every day someone was rushed to the hospital”

Gerard Butler has remembered filming Zack Snyder’s historical epic 300 – and although art doesn’t quite imitate life, it sounds pretty brutal.

“I remember somebody being taken to the hospital every day,” Butler said in a recent interview with People. “You wanted to fight, you turn around, there’s a guy down there, a spear went in his eye. Another time, you turn around, there’s a guy over there who just fell, broke his ankle. I mean, it was insane.”
