The highly anticipated next chapter to the international blockbuster 300. This new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield: the sea. Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. He must face the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemisia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy. 300: rise of an empire is directed by Noam Murro from a screenplay by Zack Snyder & Kurt Johnstad. This lavish book features stunning production art, photography from the acclaimed Clay Enos (Watchmen: Portraits) and input from Zack Snyder and Noam Murro
