Eva Green, who starred in "casino Royale" and "Camelot", is currently in negotiations to play the female lead, Artemisia, in "300: Battle of Artemisia".

The film would be the prequel to 2006's "300". Artemisia is the one who convinces Xerxes to gather an army and attack against the Spartans at Thermopylae.

Mark Canton, Gianni Nunnari, Bernie Goldman, Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder and Thomas Tull will be producing the film, which is slated to begin production early next year.
