We are starting to get a whole bunch of new imagery and promotional material for the upcoming 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE, and today is indeed no different with the addition of this new banner. The poster, which we think you’ll be seeing in your local cinema any time now, features Rodrigo Santoro as King Xerxes, and the threatening three words, ‘Athens Will Burn’.
After its victory over Leonidas’ 300, the Persian Army under the command of Xerxes marches south 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.
The film hits US cinemas on the 1st of March and the UK a week later on the 7th. Watch the new trailer for 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE, over here.
