Artemisia’s is about herself, but Gorgo’s is about the death of her husband. So both characters are in a sort of revenge mode. She was traumatized as a child so she kind of built this armor around her to survive, and she became driven and blinded by vengeance, and completely obsessed. Artemisia is like a man in a woman’s body. Green: I think it’s quite rare to see strong women in an action film, so that’s cool. Headey: I’d say that Gorgo’s back this time just for revenge. Did you have to work yourselves up to play the parts? Gorgo is now widowed, and we find out that Artemisia had a very rough childhood. Headey, who currently stars as Cersei Lannister on “Game of Thrones,” and former Bond girl Green (Vesper in “Casino Royale”) recently spoke about the film and their roles in Los Angeles.īoth of these characters have an ax to grind. But fans of fiery females will be very satisfied with the dialogue, character and evil ways put into the hands of Eva Green, who portrays, with quiet vehemence, the Persian naval leader Artemisia, a woman with a chip on her shoulder so big, she uses it to knock the block off of every man she sees. Headey is back as Gorgo, though her screen time is relatively spare until the film’s last act, when she comes on as a sword-wielding lioness. But this time around, in “300: Rise of an Empire,” there’s some juicer stuff for the female actors to chew on. There was very little female presence in the very masculine 2007 film “300,” though Lena Headey grabbed her share of the spotlight as Sparta’s Queen Gorgo to the story’s King Leonidas.
