Despite undergoing production last summer and being slated for an August 2nd debut, news has been very quiet for Warner Bros.' upcoming sequel/prequel 300: Rise Of An Empire. We have yet to receive a trailer, let alone any posters or official stills from the movie, which is rather unusual for a follow-up to a very successful film for WB. A teaser was rumored to be attached to G.I. Joe: Retaliation (which hits March 29th), but that was never officially confirmed. Now, according to Stark Industries, the film is no longer set for an August 2nd release. If this is the case, then 300: Rise Of An Empire (which stars Rodrigo Santoro and Eva Green) will most likely be dated for a later release at some point. Are you disappointed at the possibility of seeing the film later than expected?

How about not releasing it at all? I loved 300, I like Rodrigo Santoro and Eva Green as actors, but this? Well...no, thanks.

Is this because the movie looks bad, or just logical rescheduling due to conflicts?

Maybe they figured out what we already knew: This isn't going to make any money. 300 did not need a sequel. It's okay to make a stand alone movie. They don't all have to be franchises.

i think the time for a sequel to 300 has come and go. It's been 7 years. at the height of 300's popularity they may have been able to spin this, but i think the audience is a bit "over it".

Sounds like this may end up straight to DVD or limited theatrical release. It'll probably be shit anyway, because, let's face it, 300 was nothing special, and all this film is doing is telling the other side of the story.

300 doesn't need a sequel, it was fine stand alone besides, does anyone actually really care?

I thought we were going to be treated to a graphic novel first? Maybe I've missed it, or maybe we're all in for a wait for that as well. As long as its better than 'Holy Terror'!

Loved 300. But a sequel is sure to end up in the 'S.Darko' league.

I wasn't to thrilled about this movie to begin with. I'll definitely be seeing it but I'm in not hurry to see it.

If WB can move the third Hobbit movie back a few months,it shouldn't be a big deal if they do the same for the next 300 movie.They moved Jack The Giant Slayer back from June 2012 to March 2013 and Man of Steel from December 2012 to June 2013.This stuff happens all the time.

August is kind of a dead month anyway for event movies because audiences are burned out on end of the world stuff.Its a better time for summer comedies.Maybe WB wants the film to come out in spring 2014 since its 2014 slate hasn't been put together.

Is there anything you people like!

Every movie, every time only seems to get negative responses from most of you!

Talk about needy and hard to please!
