Most movies that pushed some kind of boundary ended up going indi, or at least getting an indi producer to back them. You'd never know it with the way they get latched onto and copied in one form or another. I don't remember 300 having a particularly large budget either, I could be way wrong though. Been a long time since that came out, sheesh.
Now that you mention it... didn't 300 have to go independent? And it rocked.
