Looks like the next 300 film, Rise of an Empire, will have a lot of action taking place on the sea! Eva Green and Lena Headey are leading around more Greeks as they head for revenge against King Xerxes — who is still abnormally large and likes to slowly rise out of golden pools.

It seems like more Spartans battling without armor against Xerxes. If that’s what people want though, I guess it’ll be here soon. Check out the trailer below. Read more…

Still, in the absence of necessity, just toss whatever in and hope it creates necessity. Case in point: adding King Leonidas from 300 to multiplayer. Read more…
