Both films were adapted from the graphic novel 'Xerxes' by Frank Miller and 'Rise Of An Empire' is due to hit cinemas on March 7th 2014. The second instalment was directed by Noam Murro ('Smart People'), with Snyder working on the screenplay alongside Kurt Johnstad ('Act of Valor'). 300: Rise of an Empire pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes and Artemesia. '300: Rise Of An Empire' is the fantasy-action sequel to 2007's '300' directed by Zack Snyder ('Dawn of the Dead', 'Watchmen', 'Man of Steel'). 300: Rise Of An Empire will have content based on graphic novels 'Xerxes' by Frank Miller, and was told in a dramatic film style has been reflected in the part 1. How can they survive against a seemingly impervious God King and his female ally, the just as ruthless, sword-wielding Artemisia? Outnumbered and overpowered once again, there is still hope. Greek general Themistokles of Athens leads the naval charge against invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy. Nonetheless, the Greeks remained filled with a fierce determination following Leonidas' heroism and so Themistocles of Athens leads his naval fleet to war while Sparta's army prepares for another fight. After its victory over Leonidas 300, the Persian Army under the command of Xerxes marches towards the major Greek city. Rival cities Sparta and Athens are forced to set aside their bitterness towards each other if they have any hope of victory - though with Xerxes on their tail with immortal power, their lives teeter on the edge. The origin of Xerxes adds a few extra layers to Rodrigo Santoro's God-king, but Rise of an Empire, much like 300, once again shoves the character - and the Persian war machine - into the background to spotlight the battle at hand (not to mention leave ample room for another sequel). However, their battle is not over yet as Persia is rapidly sailing in for another invasion. When Leonidas and his valiant army of 300 Spartans were wiped out by the vast forces led by Persian God King Xerxes, the rest of Greece now feel that their country has gained honour following their tragic loss.
