The movie that spawned a thousand memes; 300 is set to hit the big screen again, but this time without Gerald Butler at the helm as King Leonidas.
300: The Battle of Artemisia is currently in production and is scheduled for release in 2013. The film stars Eva Green and Rodrigo Santorio, with the plot revolving around the invasion fought by the Greek city-state alliance as the Persian Empire moved in during 480 BC. It will also touch upon how Persian leader Xerxes managed to become the God King, as well as his battle with Artemesia (played by Green) and Themistocles.
In an interview with MTV, the actor said he will not return for the sequel of this blockbuster hit saying “they’re filming [the 300 sequel] right now. I wish them the best, but it didn’t [work out]. It wasn’t really my thing”.
