Synopsis
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. Credits

300: Rise Of An Empire And Tom Cruise's All You Need Is Kill Get Pushed Back300: Rise of an Empire has only just begun its marketing campaign, releasing a few stills, a poster, and showing off footage at last month's CinemaCon, but it appears that Warner Bros. will be throwing the brakes on for a while....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-05-09 23:07:02comments
Gravity, 300: Rise Of An Empire, We're The Millers And More Debut Footage At CinemaConWhile tonight’s presentation from WB did include trailers from Man of Steel, The Hangover Part III, The Conjuring and The Great Gatsby, it was the footage that was shown from August and beyond that made it the most interesting one we’ve seen so far....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-04-16 22:58:54comments
300: Rise Of An Empire Showcases A Shadowed Warrior On Its First PosterThe first four words on the poster are “From Producer Zack Snyder,” while Murro’s name isn’t mentioned until the usual director spot near the bottom of the cast and crew listing. Granted, Murro’s only previous film is 2008’s romantic comedy Smart People, but still. I always feel sorry for people who don’t know any better than to realize that producer credits usually mean squat....by Nick Venable | published: 2013-04-16 21:03:58comments
Eva Green Stands Tall In New Image From 300: Rise Of An EmpireGreen's presence in the film is interesting, largely because Zack Snyder's film didn't really feature any women in battle. Sure, Lena Headey's Queen Gorgo did play a significant part in the plot, however, she was all the way back in Sparta while King Leonidas and his army were fighting off the invading Persian forces....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-04-12 15:01:46comments
300: Rise Of An Empire Delivers Two New StillsZack Snyder is only serving as a producer on 300: Rise of an Empire, the sequel to the 2006 blockbuster about how the Spartans fought off the Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae, but looking at the first stills released from the movie it would seem that director Noam Murro has done his best to capture the same aesthetic....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-04-08 18:40:03comments
300 Prequel Gets A New TitleThe 300 prequel has already gone through two names, including Xerxes and 300: Battle of Artemsia, but now it seems that they have moved things around and the project once again has a new name: 300: Rise of an Empire. The new film is being directed by Smart People helmer Noam Murro and stars Sullivan Stapleton, Eva Green, Rodrigo Santoro, Callan Mulvey and Jack O'Connell....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-09-12 20:51:49comments
Gerard Butler Won't Be In The 300 SequelThe sequel to Zack Snyder's 300, which has been called 300: The Battle of Artemisia but may not stay that way, has already gone into production in time to meet its August 2, 2013. But it's taken us this long to figure out what we all kind of already knew for sure-- Gerard Butler...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-08-22 10:52:56comments
Aussie Actor Callan Mulvey Lands Roles In 300 Sequel, Bigelow's LatestHis credits include work on the television series Rush, Home and Away and Heartbreak High. But he appears poised to make the leap to high-profile feature films, and solid work in both Dark Thirty and Artemisia could propel him to Joel Edgerton or Gerard Butler status. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-03-29 06:29:19comments
Hangover Part III, 300 Sequel Get Release Dates, Pacific Rim Pushed BackThe success of Zack Snyder's 300 actually had a fairly significant impact on film scheduling. Released in early March of 2006, the film showed studios that there was potential in releasing blockbusters that early in the year. In fact, all but one of Snyder's projects have been released on that weekend since. But the sequel to 300, 300: The Battle of Artemisium, isn't being directed by Snyder and apparently won't even have the special release date....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-03-22 14:28:51comments
New Details on 300 Sequel Battle Of Artemisia From Xerxes HimselfRodrigo Santoro, who memorably played the kinky and gold-laden Xerxes in Zack Snyder's glossy gore fest 300, has revealed some surprising new details about the film's in-development sequel, 300: Battle of Artemisia. Speaking with Omelete, the What to Expect When You're Expecting star confessed that he may step back into his golden briefs and reprise his role as the Turkish tyrant, saying: "We are talking about it. Let’s see what happens. It’s a long story, my friend. A long story."...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-03-15 10:57:53comments
Jamie Blackley Will Lead 300 SequelJamie Blackley has signed on to star opposite Sullivan Stapleton. While Stapleton is set to play the menacing Xerxes, who was memorably and strangely portrayed by Rodrigo Santoro in the original, Blackley will take on the role of Calisto, a young man who aspires to be a great and heroic warrior like his father before him. ...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-02-17 08:53:56comments
300 Sequel May Finally Have Landed A Solid TitleIt’s been nearly five years since Zack Snyder blew all of our minds with the wildly visual and hyper-muscly 300. The stylized effects coupled with the arguably overused slo-mo effects really put Snyder on the map and sparked a ton of interest in the Frank Miller graphic novel. Naturally, since 300 made back its budget in just one weekend, the studio wanted a sequel and so did many fans....by Will LeBlanc | published: 2012-01-05 11:29:24comments
Joel Edgerton Won't Be In The Planned 300 PrequelIt might be best for all involved. As was sort of hinted at, Edgerton’s not really the kind of guy prepared to open a film to the type of number Artemisia will need to hit to afford all of its costly CGI. Then again, those who’ve seen the actor in films like Animal Kingdom or Warrior know that he’s far more capable of dramatic fare, and we’d hate to see him wasted screaming “This is Artemisia!” in front of a green screen....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-11-21 14:02:47comments
Joel Edgerton In Talks To Star In 300 Prequel Battle Of ArtemisiaThe first 300 was a surprise hit, which meant it didn't really need to have any stars because nobody had any expectations for it. But Battle of Aretemisia is a late-breaking attempt to turn 300 into a franchise, so it makes sense for them to seek out someone who is more of a name, even if it's a name as relatively new as Joel Edgerton...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-11-02 09:13:45comments
Noam Murro Could Ditch Die Hard 5 To Focus On The 300 PrequelDirector Noam Murro may have found himself in kind of a pickle as he makes his way up the blockbuster ranks.

300 Sequel Battle of Artemisia Handed To Noam MurroThe follow-up film, which once was titled Xerxes and is based on Frank Miller’s upcoming graphic novel, shifts its focus to the Persian leader who was the antagonist in Snyder’s 2006 battle thriller. Snyder co-wrote the screenplay with his 300 collaborator Kurt Johnstad. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-07-16 07:22:37comments
300 Sequel No Longer Called Xerxes, Almost Definitely Won't Be Directed By Zack SnyderBeyond the new title and Canton's vague, all-but-guaranteed suggestion that Snyder won't be directing -- "I don’t see us waiting two years to make the movie"-- there's not much news here. But the dozens of you waiting to return to the world of 300 without Snyder's direction...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-04-06 12:56:29comments
Guy Ritchie Will Not Be Directing The 300 Sequel XerxesEveryone was pretty surprised yesterday when it was announced that Zack Snyder would no longer be directing the 300 sequel, Xerxes and that, instead, Warner Bros. would be giving the project to Guy Ritchie. The story made a lot of sense, as Snyder will be busy directing the next Superman movie and the studio was quite pleased with what Ritchie did with Sherlock Holmes. As logical as the story was, though, it's not happening....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-02-16 19:01:52comments
Guy Ritchie To Replace Zack Snyder On The 300 Sequel Xerxes300 creator Frank Miller has written a sequel to his comic turned movie and Warner Bros. is dead set on turning that idea, Xerxes into a sequel. Until recently it seemed like if the project actually happened, 300 director Zack Snyder would be behind it. In fact back in 2010 Snyder actually said he was working on it. But now, out of the blue, it looks like things are going a different direction. Snyder is out, Guy Ritchie may be in....by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-02-15 17:24:04comments

First Look At Frank Miller's 300 Sequel, XerxesIt’s hard to say whether we’ll ever really see the long promised sequel to Zack Snyder’s 300. It always seemed like a strange idea anyway, doing a sequel to a movie about all of the story’s...by Josh Tyler | published: 2010-06-01 23:19:37comments
