Meet Themistocles In A New Featurette For 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE
Warner Bros has introduced a new featurette ahead of the March 7, 2014 release of 300: Rise Of An Empire. The video offers a little more info on the film’s main lead, Themistocles, played by actor Sullivan Stapleton, in addition to a few more spoilers for those not already familiar with the film or the Frank Miller novel off of which this latest sequel thriller is based.
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.
