It's fairly difficult to tell what exactly the plot of 300: Rise of an Empire is going to be from this trailer, but we'll give it a go anyway: The Greeks and the Persians are at war, Eva Green has enough confidence to take on Cersei Lannister Lena Headey's Queen Gorgo and the Greeks, violence happens, and lots of blood is shed. That's really the only thing you can tell for sure, with this trailer—the film is going to be just as bloody as 300 was, and shit is definitely going to go down. Hey, we're sold. 

The film was directed by Smart People director Noam Murro, and written by 300 director Zack Snyder, alongside 300 screenwriter Kurt Johnstad. It's based off of Frank Miller's graphic novel, Xerxes.

300: Rise of an Empire is set to hit theaters on March 7, 2014, so we've all still got about nine months to wait. Luckily, you can check out the trailer above to keep you occupied until then.
