First Images from ’300: Rise of an Empire’ – David vs. Goliath on the Seas

Zack Snyder’s 300 – based on the comic book of the same name by Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns) - was one of the more surprising successes of 2006, particularly as a (relatively) hard R comic book action film. It was so successful, in fact, that a follow-up film was bound to come down the pike at some point.

Neither a prequel nor a sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire will take place more or less concurrently with the events of 300. Today, the first official images from the film have been released. Plus, director Noam Murro and star Sullivan Stapleton (Gangster Squad) talk about what we can expect from the film and how it’ll differ from its cinematic predecessor.
