300: Rise of an Empire

Check out the cool teaser of "300: Rise of an Empire" as the muscle-bound Spartans returns!

After Xerxes' father, Darius, is killed by the Greeks during the Battle of Marathon, he seeks to become a God and eventually comes face to face with Athenian commander Themistocles.

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.

Themistokles is played by an Australian actor Sullivan Stapleton best known for his roles in Gangster Squad, The Hunter, and in the Strike Back.

The movie will be in theaters on March 17, 2014.
