MUMBAI: 300: Rise of an Empire is scheduled to premiere on 15 February, 2015 at 9 pm on HBO.

Told in the breath-taking visual style of the blockbuster 300, it is a new chapter of the epic saga, which takes action to a new battlefield – the sea.

While King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans have their date with destiny at Thermopylae, another battle against the Persians is brewing, this time at sea. Themistocles, a Greek general, sees the threat posed by the Persian God-King Xerxes. He knows that he must unite all of Greece if he is to stand any chance of repelling the Persian invasion. Even if he accomplishes his mission, Themistocles must still face Artemisia, the ruthless leader of the Persian armada.

The movie premiere will be extensively promoted across TV, print, OOH, multiplex branding and digital media.

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures present, a Cruel and Unusual Films/Mark Canton/Gianni Nunnari Production, 300: Rise of an Empire. The action-adventure stars Sullivan Stapleton (Gangster Squad) as Themistokles and Eva Green (Casino Royale) as Artemisia. Reprising their roles from 300, Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) stars as the Spartan Queen and Rodrigo Santoro as the Persian God-King, Xerxes.
