New Poster Rises for “300: Rise of an Empire”

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have unleashed the new one-sheet art for the new action adventure “300: Rise of an Empire”, the prequel to the 2006 blockbuster, “300”. Based on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel “Xerxes”, this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield — on the sea — as Greek general Themistokles 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, and Artemesia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy. The film stars Sullivan Stapleton as Themistokles and Eva Green as Artemesia. Lena Headey reprises her starring role from “300” as the Spartan Queen, Gorgo, Hans Matheson stars as Aeskylos and Rodrigo Santoro stars again as the Persian King, Xerxes. The film is directed by Noam Murro, from a screenplay by Zack Snyder and Kurt Johnstad, based on the graphic novel “Xerxes” by Frank Miller. You can also catch the film's trailer after the break.




Opening across the Philippines in March 2014, “300: Rise of an Empire” will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
