The upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly seems to be full of new pics from upcoming flicks. A-HA! Rhyming! Anywho, this evening I bring you two more photos from the mag. One has the gorgeous Eva Green in 300: RISE OF THE EMPIRE, and the other is Hugh Jackman about to slash up some ninjas.

While I know for a fact that I will be seeing THE WOLVERINE, I cannot say the same for 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE. I’m not sure what it is that turns me off about it. Zack Snyder is producer, but maybe it has to do with the fact that the sequel is a little late in coming. I also wonder about director Noam Murro going from SMART PEOPLE to something like this. But going back to THE WOLVERINE, I hate to say that I was a little underwhelmed by the first trailer. I think I want so much for this story to be done correctly that perhaps I’ve set my bar a little high. However, I’m still not going to be super judgmental since there is only one piece of cut together footage so far.

The Greek general Themistocles battles an invading army of Persians under the mortal-turned-god, Xerxes. 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE is set to release on August 2, 2013.

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before. THE WOLVERINE hits theaters on July 26, 2013.
