New ‘300: Rise Of An Empire’ Trailer Debuts Online!

Briefly: Had it not been for a 9-month delay, we’d all have already seen 300: Rise of an Empire.

Instead, this new trailer will have to do for now. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited as hell for the movie, but I of course wish that it would have made its original June 6th release date.

So far, the film pretty much looks like an extension of the first, which is exactly what I’m hoping for. Take a look at the new preview below, and let us know what you think! 300: Rise of an Empire hits theatres on March 6th!

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.
