Watch: Warriors Rage Hard in First Trailer for '300: Rise of an Empire'

After we saw a precise number of Spartans dine in hell in the adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel 300, from Man of Steel director Zack Snyder, the follow-up, 300: Rise of an Empire chronicles a new war with elements of the story taking place before, during and after the first film. Smart People director Noam Murro is stepping into action territory for the first time, and this pseudo-sequel certainly has the style and spirit of the first film. Sullivan Stapleton leads the pack as Themistocles leading Greece to a hopeful victory over the Persian forces of Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and the villainous vixen Artemesia (Eva Green). Can this make a splash with the audience who loved the original macho film? Watch below!
Here's the first trailer for Noam Murro's 300: Rise of an Empire, originally from Yahoo:
Noam Murro (Smart People) directs 300: Rise of an Empire (formerly The Battle of Artemisia), based on Frank Miller's upcoming prequel graphic novel Xerxes, and adapted by Zack Snyder (director of 300) and Kurt Johnstad (writer of 300 and Act of Valor). Greek general Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemesia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy. Warner Bros is releasing 300: Rise of an Empire everywhere in 3D on March 7th, 2014 early next year.

For a movie that I don't think should have ever been made I must say it looks decent

300 was a trend setter. This looks just like any other of myriad of movies (and tv series ) that followed trying to imitate the same. Aren't we feed up with this visual style? I am. It's way over the top.To the point of ridiculous. Maybe it will be a good kind of cheesy but I doubt it. Tl;dr : looks gay.

Looks gay cause its gay. 300 its probably, along Spartacus, the pseudo-gayest movie of all time.

Maybe. But I meant gay in a non-homosexual way.

Why even use that word if you meant in a "non-homosexual way"? What does it mean then?

Just a word used too often to describe something and anything. To quote Mahoney in Police Academy even "sleeping is for fags". I'm sure @ridiculous meant no harm.

Let's say you call somebody a mother f**ker. Do you mean he is having sexual relations with his mother or what ? "Gay" is one of those words that has several ,mostly derogatory meanings.Because society. In this case it probably means lame in a kitschy kind of way. Or cheesy in a bad way. You know,gay. If you want to be all up in arms about it how about the fact that its original meaning got twisted from "to be happy" to "to be homosexual" ? Nobody advocates that cause . If you can't take this "liberal" use of the word than I suggest you leave the internet forever. Shit be messed up like that in this bitch.

Looks gay? These flicks are gay porn for straight guys. It's a world full of contradictions. Deal with it.

Doesn't look bad at all...but it doesn't look as amazingly awesome as the first. But sure, I'm up for more historical fantasy.

will certainly be a visual spectacle, ripe with gore and action, Im sure acting and story will be soso. Looks like a matenee.

Is this coming out for Xbox 360 or PS3? The graphics look to outdated to be for the next Gen

After seeing Man of Steel, I'm pretty much done with Zack Snyder. That film was a big let down especially after the insane marketing campaign. I should've known better after reading his Prequel Comic. They just took the Superman mythos and turned it upside down in a very bad way. I wish they could've done what Grant Morrison did with All Star Superman. Embrace the source material, good and bad, and make it sing.

Eva Green seems like she's playing a villain, I wasn't aware.

300 was a decent movie, now everyone has jumped on the band-wagon i think this is a few years too late (8 to be exact). I'm rather watch Gigli then this movie. o_O
