Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch is an upcoming American action-fantasy film written by Steve Shibuya and Zack Snyder, and directed by Snyder. Sucker Punch features an ensemble female cast that includes Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, and Carla Gugino. The film follows a young girl in the 1950s about to be lobotomized and as she attempts to escape an asylum with her inmate friends.

Snyder has described the film as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns", including dragons, B-52 bombers and brothels.

"Set in the 1950s, it tells the story of Baby Doll (Browning), who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather and lobotomy. She ends up in mental institution in Brattleboro, Vermont and while there she starts to imagine alternative reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is caught by a vile man. She has 5 days to escape before being lobotomized. In order to cope with the situation, she enters the hyper-real world of her imagination, and the lines between reality and dream begin to blur. She is joined with friends who are inmates from the institution. Lessons learned in the said fantasy world could help the girls escape their real-world fate."

Watch the trailer.

What say you guys?

Zach Snyder is beginning to annoy me intensely...But who can say no to a bunch of hot young women wearing very little going around kicking some serious ass?

Looks promising.

Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung 'nuff said 😆 😆 😆 😄

I'm actually really looking forward to this, I think it'll be a lot of fun.

Looks like fantastic fun, reminds me of that wonderful Japanese film Casshern.

Except that Casshern (which coincidentally I watched tonight for the 1st time in a long time) has a massive amount of depth to it in terms of themes.

This quite clearly wont.

It'll just have hot chicks kicking ass.

Yeah, thanks for that...

Too true, but then I don't expect depth from a Zack Snyder film, and I said fun. So 😛

Sucker Punch looks awesome. Usually I am not into sexy ladies as action heroines, but this one looks very well done. Everyone who went to comic con said this looks and sounds awesome and so does the new Piranha 3D movie. They said the girls for Sucker Punch were awesome and the promo chicks for Piranha 3D were awesome "Wild Wild Girls". I just tried to find pics and I found this from Comic-con. The trailer for Piranha 3D is out now and the movie looks sweet. Its the same director as Hills Have Eyes and looks like an amazing final product.

Here are the "Wild Wild Girls" at Comic-Con

😐 Are the makers of Piranha 3D paying you? Seriously

jabjabcross - piss off into the horror section and make a topic about the film instead of filling other sections up with your piranha crap.

Looks so badass. I got a movie boner! If the story his half-way decent, it should be an easy 8 out of 10.

🍺 Trailer looks interesting

Just saw the Trailer....

Zach Snyder is nothing but a lame HACK!

Sucker Punch....k...catchy title...what should we throw in?

Kill Bill meets with Lord of the Rings and decide to have lunch and invite Dragon Wars with them to eat at the house of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

This guy is going the way of M Night. Someone, please tell him he sucks.

People throw around the term "hack" without knowing what it means. Snyder doesn't make films for the paycheck. You may not like his films, but - with the exception of maybe Watchmen - he doesn't pretend that his movies are deep or meaningful. You can tell he puts a lot of effort into them as well, the set pieces, the special effects, the care for source material, etc. You may not like his work, a lot of people don't, but a Brett Ratner he is not.

It's not like he's covering up that Sucker Punch apparently features an almagamation of tons of awesome stuff we've seen in other properties. He's just appealing to the inner 14 year old boy in all of us and as far as action goes, I really really dig the way Snyder films it.

Exactly. That pretty much sums up my interests in this film. 😆

And, this movie looks like it will have a bit of depth..if not quite a bit.

Oo there is a dragon in the trailer, soooooooooo automatically it's like Lord of the Rings... Lord of the Rings didn't come into my head at all through that trailer.

I don't even remember any dragons in Lord of the Rings. The closest thing I can think of were those creatures the ring wraiths rode on... but that's a stretch. So yeah, I also didn't think of Lord of the Rings. If anything it evoked Reign of Fire (which was terrible) or something.

Not in Lord of the Rings, but in the Hobbit...remember Singe, the dragon who hoarded all that treasure, and Bilbo had to fight him??
