300 RISE OF AN EMPIRE
EPIC CHARACTER POSTERS!
Among many other treats, Comic Con has also brought us new character posters for next years biggest epic adventure 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE which you can check out today: Sullivan Stapleton leads the cast as Greek general Themistocles whose motto is "Stand, Fight and Die!", Lena Headey is queen Gorgo and she wants to avenge her husband Leonidas, Rodrigo Santoro is Persian emperor Xerxes who claims that "Athens Will Burn!", while Eva Green as his rotten evil general Artemisia swears that "If Death Comes, She Will Be Ready"! There's also Jack O'Connell as Calisto who claims that "War Is In His Blood"! Scheduled to premiere next March with revolutionary visuals, mindblowing naval battles and stunning costumes, muscles and choreographies, the sequel to legendary 300 will be set after the Persian victory over Leonidas, with the Persian Army under the command of Xerxes marching north towards the major Greek city-states. The Democratic city of Athens, first on the path of Xerxes' army, bases its strength on its fleet, led by admiral Themistocles. Themistocles is forced to an unwilling alliance with the traditional rival of Athens, oligarchic Sparta whose might lies with its superior infantry troops. But Xerxes still reigns supreme in numbers over sea and land!
