Watch An Epic New Trailer For ‘300: Rise Of An Empire’

Briefly: It seems as though most people either loved or hated the first 300 when it hit theatres all the way back in 2006. 16 year old pubescent me ate up every bloody second of it, and as such, I cannot wait to experience Rise of an Empire.

A new trailer for the sequel/prequel has just debuted online, and it’s definitely the best trailer for the film so far. It shows off a lot more plot than previous trailers, while also diving much deeper into the action.

It pretty much looks exactly like the first film, but that won’t stop me from lining up when 300: Rise of an Empire hits theatres on March 7th. Take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know what you think!

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.
