A decade ago, Dylan O'Brien was a rising star in the entertainment industry. After success on a little-known MTV series, he was tapped to lead what should have been the next big franchise. The popularity of dystopian franchises such as The Hunger Games and Divergent made it apparent that there was a market for more content. O'Brien starred as Thomas in The Maze Runner, an adaptation of James Dashner's book of the same name about a group of boys who wake up in a terrifying maze with no memory of who they are.

While The Maze Runner was a commercial success, critics were less impressed, and the franchise lost steam during the third film, The Death Cure. O'Brien was injured during a stunt gone wrong when he was hit by a car. The actor has since gone on the record about how his safety concerns were disregarded, leading to a bad experience on set.

The film which catapulted Zack Snyder into stardom as a director just got a major streaming update for September. 300, the 2006 period piece epic starring Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, David Wenham, and Dominic West, will officially begin streaming on Netflix starting September 1. The sword and sandal film tells the story of the 300 Spartan soldiers who fought under King Leonidas (Butler) at Thermopylae against King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his gargantuan Persian army. 300 joins several other exciting films set to premiere on Netflix at the start of the month such as 3:10 to Yuma, the western remake starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. In addition to Butler, Headey, Wenham, and West, 300 also stars Michael Fassbender, Tom Wisdom, and Andrew Pleavin. The film currently sits at a 61% score from critics and an 89% rating from general audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.

300: Rise of An Empire features returning characters and introduces new ones, continuing the battles between Athens, Sparta, and Persia. The sequel explores the aftermath of King Leonidas' death, with Themistokles taking on the role of the lead warrior against Xerxes and Artemisia. The highly stylized 300 movies, criticized for historical inaccuracy, provide an action-packed and dramatic experience for viewers.

300: Rise of An Empire sees a number of characters and cast members carry over from the first film. Loosely based on historical truths, both 300 and its sequel 300: Rise of an Empire tell the story of the battles between Athens, Sparta, and Persia. Though known for their highly stylized elements, the ultra-quotable 300 movies are widely criticized for their lack of historical accuracy despite finding its drama in being a sweeping period piece.

300, which was released in 2006, focuses on action movie star Gerard Butlers King Leonidas and his quest to...

Following a seven month hiatus after star Sullivan Stapleton suffered a major injury in Bangkok, production has resumed in Europe and Asia on the final season of Cinemax's "Strike Back".

Joining regulars Stapleton and Philip Winchester will be a host of talent lead by the one and only Michelle Yeoh.

Joining her will be "The Wolverine" stars Will Yun Lee and Masa Yamaguchi, former "Highlander: The Series" lead Adrian Paul, "Spartacus" stars Dustin Clare and Christian Antidormi, "Game of Thrones" actors Joseph Gatt and Michael McElhatton, Ufc fighter Michael Bisping and a raft of British thesis including Max Beesley, Tim McInnerny, Leo Gregory, Mark Griffin, Andrew Pleavin and Eliza Hope Bennett.

This final set of ten episodes is scheduled to air sometime in 2015

Breaking new ground is certainly something to be admired. Being able to push the boundaries further is a rare feat that is inspiring to witness. The issue becomes what happens when that new ground becomes tired and worn? The inability to answer that quandary is a big reason squeals to visual spectacles rarely succeed. Their once flashy and new trend oversaturates the market to the point of ad nauseam.

With that issue in mind it is no wonder 300: Rise of an Empire does not work nearly as well as its predecessor. Director Noam Murro’s style is reminiscent to the original to a fault. It is akin to waiting eight years to make a sequel to The Matrix.

Vengeance is sought when “300: Rise of an Empire” arrives onto Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD Special Edition and Digital HD on June 24 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Producer Zack Snyder teams up with Director Noam Murro to create the follow up to the 2007 hit “300” in the same visually stunning style as the original. The stylized epic follows two warring nations that fight for glory amidst a raging sea.

Wonder how many viewers would be interested in another version of the oft repeated history of ancient Greece? It's the story of how the Persian King Xerxes, with over 1,000 ships in his fleet, could have easily conquered the divided Greeks in Circa 480 BC.

Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel "Xerxes", the film takes off on a very verbose expository note by the Spartan Queen Gorgo. Her explanations weave in the loose ends as well as the backstory of the characters, giving an insight into the history.

There’s a new featurette for 300: Rise of an Empire titled “Heroes of 300″; which you can see below.

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 Artemisia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

The film stars Sullivan Stapleton, Eva Green, Lena Headey, Hans Matheson, Rodrigo Santoro, Callan Mulvey, David Wenham, Jack O’Connell, Andrew Tiernan, Igal Naor and Andrew Pleavin.
