300 Prequel Gets A New Name

The Battle Of Artemisisa Is No More...
In case you hadn't heard, Zack Snyder is now getting hard at work on a prequel to his hit Spartan movie 300 in the next couple of years, now in the aftermath of directing the upcoming DC Superman reboot flick Man Of Steel. The prologue film was due to originally be called 300: The Battle For Artemisia, but for an unknown reason, Warner Brothers Pictures have now confirmed that the flick will have a completely different name. We're now getting 300: Rise Of An Empire, which seems to imply that we'll get to see Leonidus' first conquests with his army of warriors that lead them to the point of belated victory we find them in at the beginning of the original film. Prequel territory is always a little risky, if you ask me (unless you're adapting as The Hobbit will this December), but perhaps Snyder and Warner Bros can prove me wrong and ensure that this isn't just a cash-grab project. We'll see...300: Rise Of An Empire storms into cinemas in August 2013.
