It’s finally here – the follow up to the surprise hit 300.\u00a0After its victory over Leonidas’ 300, the Persian Army under the command of Xerxes marches south towards the major Greek city-states.<\/p>\n

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\u2014on the sea\u2014as Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) 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 (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemesia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy.<\/p>\n
