Rise of an Empire was once against scripted by Snyder and 300 co-writer Kurt Johnstad, drawing inspiration from the Xerxescomic book that Frank Miller wrote (following the resounding success of the 300 comic book/movie). (Vengeance for what? Well, you'll have to see the actual movie for that.) However, much of the footage is composed of CGI-enhanced clashes at sea, Xerxes' exotic palace surroundings and shots of topless men charging in slow-motion, while Green's Artemisia plots, schemes and seduces in order to achieve the vengeance she so dearly wants. The latest Rise of an Empire trailer even includes a scene between Themistocles and Gorgo, where the latter berates the young commander, afresh from having lost her husband and king on the battlefield. trailer (though, the actress has indicated that her screen time in the film is far more limited than the previews have suggested). Butler won't be appearing in Rise of an Empire (not alive, anyway), but Lena Headey ( Game of Thrones) is back as Queen Gorgo and has been a dominant presence in the marketing so far, including the newly-unveiled second U.S. Of course, all this is going on at the same time that King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and his 300 Spartans faces off against the Persian's thousand-strong army on land. What, exactly, is 300: Rise of an Empire, you ask - a sequel or prequel to Zack Snyder's 300 comic book movie? Well both, technically-speaking, as the film explores the backstory of Persian leader Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and reveals how he evolved into a power-hungry megalomaniac decked out in gold jewelry, before it moves ahead in time to Greek general Themistocles' (Sullivan Stapleton) efforts to form a strong defense against the invading Persian naval forces led by Artemisia (Eva Green), a battle-hardened warrioress with a big chip on her shoulder.
