Gerard Butler recalls filming Zack Synder’s 300: “Every day somebody was getting taken to the hospital”

Gerard Butler has recalled filming Zack Snyder‘s historical epic 300 – and, while art doesn’t quite imitate life, it does sound pretty brutal.

“I remember every day somebody was getting taken to the hospital,” Butler said in a recent interview with People. “You’d be doing a 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.”
