"300: Battle of Artemisia will reportedly feature appearances from 300 stars Gerard Butler and Lena Headey. According to the sequel&amp;#039;s producer Bernie Goldmann, small parts have been written into the film&amp;#039;s script allowing the actors to reprise their roles as King Leonidas and Queen Gorgo. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a different story,&amp;quot; Goldmann told Fandango. &amp;quot;[But] there is a small part for Lena [Headey]. There&amp;#039;s a small part for Gerry [Butler].&amp;quot; Goldmann went on to reveal the film is likely to feature unknown actors in the lead roles, to ensure the experience is authentic. &amp;quot;When you make a period movie like that, it&amp;#039;s great not to know the actors,&amp;quot; Goldmann explained. &amp;quot;For me, as an audience, it always brings me into the movie more. &amp;quot;You can&amp;#039;t see Tom Cruise in a historial movie. You go, &amp;#039;That&amp;#039;s Tom Cruise!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; 300: Battle of Artemisia, originally titled Xerses, will be directed by Noam Murro with a script by Zack Snyder and Kurt Johnstad. A release date has yet to be announced for 300: Artemisia. Watch the trailer for 300 below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
