300: BATTLE OF ARTEMISIA is moving close, the first rumors on who might get
the lead role in the prequel to the legendary epic blockbuster have starting circling. "Vulture" reports that the first name mentioned for the role of the Greek general Themosticles who lead his army to victory over the Persians in 480 B.C., is Australian actor
Joel Edgerton who got critical praise for his role in WARRIOR this year beside
Tom Hardy. The prequel fill describe events ten years before the original film following the rise to the power of the famous Persian king Xerxes and the glorious battle at Marathon. I'm not sure I like Edgerton for this role. You?
