New 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE Poster And Trailer Sneak Peek Released

This looks like it's going to be a more visuals and less story kind of movie.

@Simyjo, She playing a persian, not a greek. also NONE of the cast is greek.

She's playing a Persian.....FFS, thats even worse.
The film could at least TRY to have some kind of historical accuracy. They don't need to BE of Mediterranian or Middle-Eastern decent - but they need to PASS for it on screen.

@Jazzman - not as stupid as this film is going to appear to anyone outside of this dumbass production.

@Jazzman - I point to the above example of Alexander at least 'trying' to fit historically.
No jarring ethnic incompatibilities - its not racist, Its not too much to expect from casting agents.
Whomever the hell did the casting on this should be ridiculed (and probably will be in the industry).
Xerxes in the first film (Rodrigo Santoro & a Brazilian: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0763928/?ref_=tt_cl_t10)- PASSED for Mesopotanian (even though the actor wasn't - through make-up etc.
Eva looks in no way possible at all like a Persian army captain, its just idiotic casting.
The casting in 300 was do-able- just. There werent any jarring examples that were completely unbelievable. This 'sequel' is just embarrassing. If you can overlook the embarassing mis-casting of real-world historical examples of a Gallic woman as a Mesopotanian, or an aboriginal as a Nazi World War II tank commander or an African as a 12th Century Viking Warrior when watching a film then all-power-to-ya brother - personally I think its as dumb as hell and lazy casting.

And I dont know if you saw the first movie but this isnt supposed to be historically accurate. Its meant to be portrayed as the thoughts people are having as this story is told. That's why the immortals were monsters who kept other massive killing machines on chains.

And your definition of historical accuracy needs to be examined too, bc the stories that these are based off of are Herodotus. And as great as he is to read, no one ever accused him of being completely historically accurate... like when he talks about the flying snakes that come from the east.
