The first trailer has landed for “300: Rise Of An Empire”. The prequel to the live action/fantasy -graphic novel inspired - film simply titled “300”. The film is directed by Noam Murro and stars Sullivan Stapleton, Eva Green, Lena Headey, Hans Matheson, David Wenham, Rodrigo Santoro. Am I jumping the gun in my fantasies of a new Starz series based on these films!?!?! Check out the trailer below.

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 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 Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.
