It’s finally here – the follow up to the surprise hit 300. After its victory over Leonidas’ 300, the Persian Army under the command of Xerxes marches south towards the major Greek city-states.

Based on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel “Xerxes” and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster “300,” this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield—on the sea—as Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. “300: Rise of an Empire” pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemesia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

 

Following the original 300, we are expecting big things from Zack Snyder, from the look of the trailer, March 2014 seems too far away. Let us know what you think on Twitter and Facebook.
