Snyder loses 2 more

I was bummed out when Amanda Seyfried was forced to drop out of the lead role in Zack Snyder’s SUCKER PUNCH due to scheduling conflicts with her HBO series “Big Love.” I’m super bummed today that SUCKER has lost two more members of its cast. Both Emma Stone and Evan Rachel Wood have dropped out of the film, both due to those nasty scheduling conflicts (which means something unknown must be coming up for Stone who recently wrapped ZOMBIELAND and has no other projects listed on IMDB) UPDATE – A few people have written in to remind me that Stone recently signed on to star in the high school retelling of “The Scarlet Letter” titled EASY A.

Snyder has moved quickly to replace his latest two casualties though and has signed Jamie Chung (right) and Jena Malone to star in the film. Chung will take over for Stone while Malone will step in for Wood. They join the previously cast Emily Browning (who was cast after Seyfried dropped out), Vanessa Hudgens and Abbie Cornish.

I’m not saying I’m not excited for SUCKER PUNCH anymore but the original cast certainly had me a little more juiced up. What do you think? For me, Seyfried, Stone and Wood packed a little more, excuse the pun, punch, than the current cast but I’ll have to trust Snyder’s judgment…
