'NEW WORLDS' EPIC MINI SERIES
300 RISE OF AN EMPIRE
EPIC CHARACTER POSTERS!
Among many other treats, Comic Con has also brought us new character posters for next years biggest epic adventure 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE which you can check out 
today: Sullivan Stapleton leads the cast as Greek general Themistocles whose motto is "Stand, Fight and Die!", Lena Headey is queen Gorgo and she wants to avenge her husband Leonidas, Rodrigo Santoro is Persian emperor Xerxes who claims that "Athens Will Burn!", while Eva Green as his rotten evil general Artemisia swears that "If Death Comes, She Will Be Ready"! There's also Jack O'Connell as Calisto who claims that "War Is In His Blood"! Scheduled to premiere next March with revolutionary visuals, mindblowing naval battles and stunning costumes, muscles and choreographies, the sequel to legendary 300 will 
be set after the Persian victory over Leonidas, with the Persian Army under the command of Xerxes marching north towards the major Greek city-states. The Democratic city of Athens, first on the path of Xerxes' army, bases its strength on its fleet, led by admiral Themistocles. 
Themistocles is forced to an unwilling alliance with the traditional rival of Athens, oligarchic Sparta whose might lies with its superior infantry troops. But Xerxes still reigns supreme in numbers over sea and land!

DEZZY'S HISTORY CLASS
Artemisia of Halicarnassus was the only female commander in the
Persian fleet. During the Battle of Salamis she commanded five ships
against the Greeks as an ally of Xerxes I of Persia. She was famous for a
daring manoeuvre at Salamis, where she escaped being sunk by ramming
one of her own ships. She was known as Artemisia I of Caria, Carian
queen and Xerxes' ally! Her ships were the best ones in the Persian
fleet!

ReplyDeleteshe's pure evil, but I have a feeeling people will like her in the film. I only wish Eva would stop modulating her voice.
DeleteDidn't they spoil how it ends in the ending of the first movie?
ReplyDeleteread the post again, Adam, the film continues right after the end of the first movie. Leonidas has fallen and now Xerxes goes onto Athens.
DeleteI see Mr. Dornan has been hittin' the gym a bit ey?
ReplyDeleteyep, that and plus that he's naturally hunky :)
DeleteI'll say :)
Deletethat's because he has Irish genes....
Delete300 looks pretty good...and I kind of enjoyed the first one, so....I wonder how many jokes will be spawned from this one??? ;)
ReplyDeletethe first one really did have so many legendary lines which I still use in every day life to this day :)
DeleteSo happy I am not alone in this!
DeleteLeonidas was a man of many witty words :)
Delete;)
DeleteFantastik trailer ! Great movie .
ReplyDeleteCheers
it will be magnificent, Vincent!
Deleteman i was 301, they cut me off... see that will get them... i was the buff guy with the potato-chip abs...
ReplyDeleteyou're better of without being a Spartan... the things they did to their kids ... you're safer this way....
DeleteMore 300 goodness, I was 287 in another life!
ReplyDeleteI just knew it, Fran :)
DeleteI love the history class section. You must have more of them.
ReplyDeleteI always do :) when we have an epic film presented :)
DeleteI've watched the whole first season of The Fall with Jamie Dornan. It's my favorite new show. He's fantastic in it, as is Gillian Anderson. So well written. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it, since I can't bear watching Jamie as a psycho :(
DeleteHigh Fives on the awesome history lesson, Dezz. It's just too bad she's being played by such a dull lifeless actress in Eva Green.
ReplyDeletemy opinion too, Melissa. I also wish Gorgo was played by someone who can actually deliver the royal lines. Lena is just too weak. Imagine if Catherine Zeta Jones was Gorgo... it would've been a whole different movie!
DeleteIndeed it would have. :)
DeleteWow, Dez, you know your history. Thanks for sharing;)
ReplyDeleteI am an expert, you know :PPP
DeleteThose 300 posters look viscious. You're history was awesome :)
