It was not easy shooting for Zack Snyder's superhit film 300. In fact, Hollywood star Gerard Butler who was loved for his role as Spartan King Leonidas, has recently revealed that the shooting was so physically gruelling for all that almost &ldquo;every day&rdquo; an actor was injured.&nbsp;
The 2006 film&nbsp;set the stage for epic films of the genre, proving how great storytelling could go a long way in grabbing box office digits.
The fan-favourite is to date considered one of the great works of Gerard Butler.&nbsp;
<h2>"Insane" number of injuries on 300 set</h2>
While the film was all about wars, the set itself was a warzone for actors as there was an &ldquo;insane&rdquo; number of injuries on the film set.
Speaking to PEOPLE, Gerard Butler said, &ldquo;I remember every day somebody was getting taken to the hospital. You&rsquo;d be doing a fight, you turn around, there&rsquo;s a guy down there, a spear went in his eye. Another time, you turn around, there&rsquo;s a guy over there who just fell, broke his ankle. I mean, it was insane.&rdquo;
Surprisingly, Butler himself did not suffer any injuries, but others didn&rsquo;t share his luck.
The actor however sustained injuries on other film sets including nearly drowning while learning to surf for the 2012 movie Chasing Mavericks.
He said, &ldquo;I thought I was done. They had to take me out, take me to hospital, put me out, give me the defibrillator. I mean, it was intense.&rdquo;

Gerard Butler reveals actors got injured 'every day' while shooting for epic 300

Hollywood star Gerard Butler says he enjoyed serving as a producer on the disaster action film 'Greenland'&nbsp;as the stint allowed him to have control in shaping the film.

Butler also starred in the Ric Roman Waugh directorial alongside 'Deadpool' star Morena Baccarin. 'Greenland', which released last year, follows a family's fight for survival in the face of a cataclysmic natural disaster.

As the countdown to global apocalypse approaches zero, the family's trek culminates in a desperate and last-minute flight to a possible safe haven. Though he is known for big-budget studio tentpoles like 'Gods of Egypt'&nbsp;and 'Geostorm', Butler said he would like to further lend support to independent films.

"I'm a control freak! As an actor, when you're coming up, you beg for roles, and you're lucky to get one and then you suddenly find yourself in a position where movies are being made, because you're involved.

"So if that's the case, you say, 'I want to produce it, I want to have some control, I want to help shape this film.' Not the studio movies, like 'Gods of Egypt' or 'Geostorm'.&nbsp;But all the other ones, in the independent world," Butler told Total Film magazine.

Chris Sparling has penned the script for 'Greenland', produced by Thunder Road Films. "I get a chance to develop, be involved with the script, choose the director.&nbsp;It's more responsibility, but you're more involved in the process.&nbsp;And I love that," Butler added.

'Greenland', which hails from STX Films, was among the handful of movies that released in the US theatres after the coronavirus-forced shutdown ended.
