300 returns!!!

Once upon a time everyone's favorite chant was AWOOO AWOOO thanks to the blockbuster movie 300. Now the movie fairies have granted your wish....300 returns!!! But they're more than 300 now in number. (Hehehehehe)

The first images from 300: Rise of an Empire, along with some details about the film from director Noam Murro, have become available via USA Today.
Adapted from Frank Miller's graphic novel "Xerxes," the film takes place in a parallel time period to Zack Snyder's epic blockbuster 300. This time the battle will occur at sea. The Greek general Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) fights to unite Greece and battles an invading army of Persians lead by the mortal-turned-god, Xerxes (Roderigo Santoro) and Artemesia (Eva Green), the vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

Though 300: Rise of an Empire is under the direction of a new helmer, the film "is tied visually to the original," according to Murro. However, he adds, "there is a whole different choreography of fighting and war." 300 was principally set in one location, a narrow passage known as "Hot Gates" where the outnumbered Spartans worked to gain an advantage. This new film, however, "happens over time in many different locations. The opportunities for the six distinct battles are even greater with different locations and tactics.''

"The few against the many is still here," the director adds. "It's hundreds vs. hundreds of thousands. It's about taking on the mightiest power of all with wisdom and tactics." As to the film's hero, "Themistokles is battle-scarred and a warrior, but at the same time he's a politician," Murro says. "He's not the king. He has to rule in a democracy. It's a different complexity of character."


Snyder and Kurt Johnstad co-wrote the film which also stars Lena Headey, Hans Matheson, David Wenham, Igal Naor, Callan Mulvey, Jack O'Connell and Andrew Tiernan.
300: Rise of an Empire opens in theatres on August 2, 2013.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, this will mark the actor's first starring role for a studio, as he helps bring to life the dramatic horror origin story. Michael De Luca will produce the project, with commercials helmer Gary Shore making his directorial debut on the feature.

The story follows a man who, after his wife and child are put in danger by a bloodthirsty sultan, risks his soul to save them, and in the process becomes the first vampire.
The studio hopes to begin production on Dracula Year Zero later this year.
