Last week, Warner Bros. released a feaaturette acquainting audiences with the Villains of 300: Rise of an Empire.This time, it’s the heroes’ turn.You can see a new featurette below that tells you all you need to know going in about those who would defend what’s left of Sparta following the first film.Based on Frank Miller’s as-yet-unpublished graphic novel Xerxes and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster 300, this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh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 (Sullivan Stapleton) 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 (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemisia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy.This film has been rated R for strong sustained sequences of stylized bloody violence throughout, a sex scene, nudity and some language.
