Good thing Warner Bros. just issued the official plot synopsis for Zack Snyder’s new genre-romp SUCKER PUNCH, as interest may have begun dwindling after not being written about for three months. Oh wait, how can any film fusing the sextuple-sexiness of Carla Gugino (right and below), Jamie Chung, Jenna Malone, Abbie Cornish, Vanessa Hudgens and Emily Browning lose interest? The hell was I thinking…
However fresh on the brain, the film that also stars Jon Hamm, Scott Glenn, Oscar Isaac and Vicky Lambert, shapes up like this:
“Sucker Punch is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, but her incredible adventures blur the lines between what’s real and what is imaginary…with potentially tragic consequences.
Born from the creative vision of filmmaker Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300), Sucker Punch features an ensemble cast of young stars, including Emily Browning (The Uninvited), Abbie Cornish (Bright Star), Jena Malone (Into the Wild), Vanessa Hudgens (the High School Musical films) and Jamie Chung (Sorority Row). The film’s main cast also includes Oscar Isaac (Robin Hood) and Carla Gugino (Watchmen), with Jon Hamm (The Town, TV’s Mad Men) and Scott Glenn (The Bourne Ultimatum).
Zack Snyder is directing Sucker Punch from a screenplay he wrote with Steve Shibuya, based on Snyder’s story. Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Thomas Tull, Wesley Coller, Jon Jashni, Christopher DeFaria, Jim Rowe and William Fay serving as executive producers.
The behind-the-scenes creative team includes Academy Award-winning production designer Rick Carter (Rick Carter) and Watchmen and 300 veterans director of photography Larry Fong, editor William Hoy and costume designer Michael Wilkinson. The music is by Tyler Bates and Marius DeVries.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Cruel and Unusual Production of a Zack Snyder film, Sucker Punch. Opening nationwide on March 25, 2011, the film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.”
SUCKER PUNCH swings into theaters March 25, 2011.
