In this interview courtesy of Warner Bros Pictures, 300: Rise of an Empire star Eva Green talks about her expectations for the film and why the story still resonates today. Green also discusses the importance of the training process, her costumes, and why she was fortunate the scenes shot at sea were actually shot using green screen and not real water.

The Plot:

Based on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel Xerxes, and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster 300, this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield—on the sea—as Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war.

300: Rise of an Empire pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and Artemesia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

Starz’s mesmerizing, critically acclaimed series Da Vinci’s Demons returns for season two on March 22, 2014 with an interesting array of new characters adding to the show’s intrigue and ever-expanding world. Among the new figures fans of the show will be introduced to this season are Carolina Guerra as Ima, Kieran Bew playing Duke Alfonso, Matthew Marsh playing King Ferrante, and Lee Boardman as Amerigo Vespucci.

And in support of the upcoming season premiere, Starz has put out this video showcasing the new players in the complicated world of Da Vinci’s Demons.

The network’s also released these official new character descriptions:

  • IMA – The Inca High Priestess is as strikingly beautiful as she is formidable. Ima has an influence
    over her people that even the emperor, Topa Inca, doesn’t possess.
  • DUKE ALFONSO – As son of Ferrante and future king of Naples, Alfonso never loses sight of the power within his grasp. However, his own ambitions could be his biggest downfall if he impudently gets in the way of his overbearing father.
  • AMERIGO VESPUCCI – A purveyor of curios, Amerigo does a lucrative business in securing exotica for the wealthy. His connections prove valuable to da Vinci and his friends, but he’s always looking for a way to profit, sometimes at their expense.
  • KING FERRANTE – Feared leader of one of the most powerful nations in Italy, King Ferrante’s known to proudly display the mummified corpses of his enemies. But an unlikely alliance proves to be a far more valuable addition to his collection.
