300 Sequel Gets A New Title

300: Battle of Artemisia? Nope. The news has just broken that Warner Bros. have decided to rename Noam Murro's sequel to Zack Snyder's 2006 hit based on the Frank Miller comic book. Read on to find out what the new title of the movie is!

Filed Under: 300

With Zack Snyder currently hard at work on the post production of Man of Steel, the sequel to 300 (originally believed to be called 300: Battle of Artemisia) will instead be directed by Noam Murro (Smart People), a fairly unconventional choice. The cast has been filling out nicely over the past few months, with Rodrigo Santoro returning as Xerxes and Eva Green set to play Artemisia. The film wil apparently serve as both a prequel AND sequel to 300, but there’s not an awful lot of details currently available about either the plot or tone we should expect. However, we now have one more detail - not that it sheds an awful lot of light on anything important - and that is a brand new title for the sequel.

300 sequel is now called 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE, according to Warner Bros.

Actually, really appropriate in historical terms. It doesn't sound too good, though. The Battle of Artemisia is just as good and epic as the 300 one...I just hope this works out.

MutantEquality - 9/12/2012, 4:49 PM

If its half as good as the first one it'll be a good watch.

Hellsboy - 9/12/2012, 4:49 PM

next the avengers sequel will be named RISE of thanos

mctrinket - 9/12/2012, 4:51 PM

Can they stop putting "Rise" in movie titles please? Enough already.

OdinsBeard - 9/12/2012, 4:55 PM

BREAKING NEWS: Every movie from now will have "Rise" or "dark" in the title.

TayDee - 9/12/2012, 4:57 PM

Most people can't even name ten movies off the top of their heads with the word rise in it

TheGambitFreak - 9/12/2012, 5:07 PM

Yeah, 300 was great, don't give a shit about a Skinny, tan, pierced gay dude though.

foulketheyankees - 9/12/2012, 5:11 PM

i mean, i had to look it up but, TDKR, silver surfer, gi joe, underworld, apes, terminator.. that's a lot of rising.

Supes17 - 9/12/2012, 5:17 PM

Terminator 3: RISE of the machines
Fantastic Four: RISE of the Silver Surfer
RISE of the Planet of the Apes
The Dark Knight RISES
GI Joe: RISE of Cobra

Yeah shits gonna go down! :P

Supes17 - 9/12/2012, 5:18 PM

At least most people will be able to pronounce the title correctly now...

blite32 - 9/12/2012, 5:18 PM

The word Rise was an important part of TDKR but for other movies it's used pretty unoriginally

VinzClortho - 9/12/2012, 5:21 PM

I'll give them an empire to rise about!

kevshardlemonade - 9/12/2012, 5:22 PM

Hannibal Rising,
Rise of the planet of the apes,
Rise of the Machines,
Rise of the silver surfer,
Rise of Cobra,
Rise of the lycans,
Seeker: The Dark is Rising,
Rise of Taj (Van Wilder),
Vallhalla Rises

The only one that used Rise appropriately was The Dark Knight Rises. But still enough with the "Rises" or Rising".

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 9/12/2012, 5:23 PM

Its better than the other title

Ranger14 - 9/12/2012, 5:27 PM

Well...that's less than impressive for a title.

Ironfistninja - 9/12/2012, 5:35 PM

hmmmmm boobs?

HarrisonBergeron - 9/12/2012, 5:47 PM

Can one of you Nolan fanboys please explain how TDKR is the only movie to have used "rise" correctly?

Of the movies listed so far it actually seems the least appropriate.

DEADP0000L - 9/12/2012, 5:49 PM

lol really we all know they are star wars fans

diomc - 9/12/2012, 5:50 PM

Rodrigo Santoro as Doctor Strange

thewonderer - 9/12/2012, 6:54 PM

@Harrison

The Batman Symbol rises from the ashes and becomes the inspiration the people of Gotham need to protect their own city.

TDKR is all about rising, both metaphorically and actually (from the pit)

NostalgicYouth - 9/12/2012, 9:32 PM

Rise of my dark _______ for Eva Green

superpooper - 9/12/2012, 9:36 PM

I really don't see why they're making this.

pepe - 9/12/2012, 10:21 PM

Why they don´t go with 301...???

AlexDeLarge87 - 9/12/2012, 11:03 PM

HOW ORIGINAL!xD

ShermanHakim - 9/13/2012, 12:48 AM

a bunch of impotent producers, obsessed with word "rise", hah! should use FLACCID instead of rise

HelaGood - 9/13/2012, 10:12 AM

lame
or in the words of Grif

shit movie

lokibane2012 - 9/13/2012, 12:03 PM

I'm not sure how to feel about this film considering it won't have Zack Snyder helming it. That guy was the main reason the first film was so entertaining.

JULEZ13 - 9/13/2012, 8:45 PM

This movie is a sequel AND prequel?!? This is sounding like one big ol' mess!

But I like the title change. Mainly cuz I like the word empire.... lol

I hope this film does good. I really want it to, but I don't know. This thing seems like its been in development hell forever.

phenomenon - 10/20/2012, 1:33 PM

should be ...battle of platea..... turning point in history
