300: Battle of Artemisia changed to 300: Rise of an Empire
Sullivan Stapleton (Animal Kingdom, Strike Back) stars as Themistocles, who leads a group of Spartan warriors to take on the mighty Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). Eva Green plays Artemisia, the goddess who persuades Xerxes to do battle with these Greek soldiers. Jamie Blackley also stars.
Noam Murro is directing from a script by 300 writers Kurt Johnstad and Zack Snyder, with production already under way.
This is not the first time this project has underwent a title change. First known as Xerxes, we reported last June that the title was changed to 300: Battle of Artemisia. We'll have to wait and see how long this current title will stick around for.
300: Rise of an Empire comes to theaters March 7th, 2014 and stars Eva Green, Rodrigo Santoro, Sullivan Stapleton, Mark Killeen, Jack O'Connell, Hans Matheson, Andrew Tiernan, Callan Mulvey. The film is directed by Noam Murro.

@rudy People are dumb and probably didn't know what it was and so they put it into easier terms for the trolls of this world...

What's wrong with Artemisia?? Are they afraid people wont be able to pronounce the word? Just like when Scorcese decided to rename Hugo Cabret to just Hugo.

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx I don't even remember what this was about. I'll go ahead and say sorry and end it. I'm sure we'll run into another tidbit soon though lol :P

@bawnian-dexeus -- Arguably.

@corey -- I don't sound like a smart-ass, there. But, yes, I was questioning you, in that post. Why are you taking offense to something so insignificant? Fighting? I wouldn't say that, considering you're the only one throwing out the punches. I don't, actually. I'll let others be the judge of that - I'm not that arrogant. Does it really matter? Longevity doesn't imply superiority.

Aren't a few of us to a certain degree MW's finest?

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx "When did I say it was going to be good? You do know what guilty pleasure means, right?"---That is YOU questioning ME sounding like a SMART-ASS! Do you not remember? And I'm not having a bad day. I get entertainment out of fighting with people like you on here, who think they are MW's finest. How long have you been here again compared to some of the rest of us?

@corey --- "It can't be that bad. It looks like a guilty pleasure, to me." -- I mentioned two other people, and I wasn't questioning anyone. That wasn't my intention, so I'll take that as an assumption. Having a bad day?

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx You questioned me to sound like a smart-ass though. Like always..
